Teaching kids to go green becomes a whole lot easier if you can make it fun. Given that kids love getting hands on with everything, you might want to consider getting them involved with green activities around the house. It’s a great way to keep them busy as they learn and they can be a really great help to you!
There is a lot that kids can get involved with when it comes to going green at home. Generally the more the activity resembles an art project or something they might do at school, the higher the chances are it will hold their interest.
You might have your kids prepare non-toxic cleaning products for the house. Much like a simple cooking project, the kids can have fun putting it together in the kitchen before they actually start cleaning with it. You can also have them prepare a meal using healthy ingredients. Kids learn through their experience… you’ll soon see that they have a great time with it!

Hi Reenita! I just wanted to let you know that I have an organic t shirt business and one of the new programs we are offering is our Eco Fund Raiser for schools & organizations to help them raise money by raising eco awareness. That being said, we encourage schools to create an Eco Kiddo Green Team and I have some great, fun ways kids can learn and recycle at the same time. Let me know if you are interested in some of my tips. Also, I’d love for you to write a topic about our eco fund raiser. Please review it at: http://www.seedsucker.org and click on the fund raiser link to read what we do to help our planet. Thanks! Debs
