History of Earth Day
The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 thanks to junior senator Gaylord Nelson who announced he wanted to educate people about climate change and the dangers of air and water pollution. Ever since we’ve been celebrating Earth Day around the world.
Each year there is a different theme for Earth Day. This year it’s “invest in our planet” and it means that now is the time to act boldly, innovate broadly, and implement equitably.
After all, we are the caretakers of this planet and in order to protect the beauty of the earth and make it a better place for future generations, we have to do our part to keep every last tree and last river in the best conditions ever.

Earth Day and Kids
Today is the perfect day to teach kids and young people about the importance of individual responsibility and what it means to be respectful to our planet.
A good way to do it is with our free Earth Day coloring pages and the best Earth Day quotes. Read them either in a classroom or at home and take a couple of minutes to discuss what they mean, and learn from them.
Developmental Benefits of Coloring Pages
We may think of coloring pages as just fun, but they also have some really cool benefits for both kids and adults:
- For kids: Fine motor skill development and hand-eye coordination develop with the action of coloring or painting coloring pages. It also helps with learning patterns, color recognition, structure of drawing and so much more!
- For adults: Relaxation, deep breathing and low-set up creativity are enhanced with coloring pages.
