How to Use the Earth Day I Spy
This Earth Day fund and colour page is quick and easy to print, and lots of fun to do! All you need is some coloured pencils or markers and a keen eye to spot all the items.
Challenge you kids to find every item on the list (we’ve included images as well as words for beginning readers) colouring in each one as they count it. Or ask the kids to find and colour whatever you can see – “colour six flowers and two bees!” It’s also fun race each other and see who can find all of the items on the list first!
You can also make up your own challenges to work on other skills you’d like to target. Challenge your kids to colour all the items that start with a particular letter, or challenge them to find which two items add up to 12.
What Kids Learn
This fun Earth Day I spy printable helps kids work on a variety of skills and learning areas.
- Visual Perception – kids need to scan and identify objects in a busy scene, working on visual discrimination and tracking skills. They’ll need to pay attention to details, identify shapes, and differentiate between objects, which are essential skills for reading, writing, and math.
- Math Skills – kids are working on number recognition, counting (one to one correspondence), comparing and sorting.
- Other Cognitive Skills – apart from all the maths learning, kids are also practicing problem solving skills, logical thinking, and using their working memory.
- Fine Motor Skills – coloring the items is a great way to work on fine motor skills and pre-writing skills.
- Environmental Awareness – The Earth Day I Spy activity introduces kids to the concept of caring for the environment in a fun way. Use this activity as a starting point for talking about the environment, recycling, and other Earth Day issues.
