Grass Crowns for Earth Day

It’s been a while since I’ve done some crafts with my kids, and with Earth Day coming up, it seemed like the perfect time to bust out the supplies and whip up something fun.Whip up these easy, toddler friendly paper grass crowns for Earth Day! // via Delia CreatesWhip up these easy, toddler friendly paper grass crowns for Earth Day! // via Delia CreatesTo keep our project as earth friendly as possible, we decided to use an old paper grocery sack as the basis for our Earth Day grass crowns.

Optional: Decorate with flower stickers.

Crowns fit for an Earth Day Celebration. 🙂

Whip up these easy, toddler friendly paper grass crowns for Earth Day! // via Delia CreatesThis is a great activity for toddlers, because when they are learning to use scissors, the easiest cut for them to make is the first cut, or a fringe cut.

Whip up these easy, toddler friendly paper grass crowns for Earth Day! // via Delia CreatesMy “toddler” is not really a toddler anymore, she’s really more like a three-nager, and has just learned how to cut continuously. She decided to practice her new-found skills and take her crown in a different, shredded direction. 😉

So, I gave my crown to her. And of course, it’s way cuter on her anyway.

At one point in the day, she was also sporting some cheetah print pants under her skirt, some hot pink polka dot socks, and a tutu or two to top it all off. Claaaaaassic, preschool fashion. Gosh, can my baby be old enough to be called a preschooler? I’m in denial.

Her sweet older brother was a good sport and made a crown with her. They are the bookends to my trio of children, and they really have the sweetest relationship.

Happy Earth Day folks (it’s just a week away!).
