Top Tips To Instill The Love Of Nature and Taking Care Of Our Planet With Children

April 18, 2016 in Giveaways & Reviews, Mom Life

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with HBO and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

As a kid I grew up in the country and while as a kid I longed to live in town, I think back on those days and really did love living where we did. And now, years later I am living in the country with my family and kids and being outside and enjoying nature is very important to us, especially since we are limited in tolerable months to be outside here in the Midwest.

Parents have the great responsibility of raising up a future generation. The little babies born today will run our world in a few short decades. We work hard to educate our children, teaching them the ways of our world. We often forget that we are raising the generation of people in whose hands we will entrust our Earth.

This is why it’s important teach kids early on the importance of our planet and to instill in them a love of the environment. It’s never too early to show kids that our world is a resource that is to be respected and taken care of. This is an education that can be as fun as it is fulfilling.

So how can you instill the love of nature and taking care of our planet with your children???

Here is a great list of ideas to give kids a love for their planet:

1) Plant a tree together

2) Visit a recycling plant

3) Take a hike around a local park

4) Visit a farm

5) Wash the car together as a family

6) Plant a vegetable garden

7) Jump in puddles on a rainy day

8) Let them dig in the dirt

9) Start a family compost pile

10) Volunteer at a local nature center

There are SOOOO many things you can do with your children, however we thoroughly enjoy gardening. Although I don’t have a very good green thumb, I really do like to try. And so do my kids! Another thing that my kids and I both enjoy is Sesame Street. This behind-the-scenes video “Gardening Fun with Sesame Street” video is a fun one to check out with your kiddos too.

    I grew up in the country too. As a child, I thought I hated it. I wanted to live in a city. Then I turned 18, left home and lived in several cities. 10 years after that, you know what happened? I moved back to my hometown. I hated living in the city. As that saying goes, ‘you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take country out of the girl’ that was completely me.

Clean drinking water is even better! I introduce to you ZeroWater.  Only ZeroWater leaves 000 dissolved solids, for the purest tasting water.
