A gardening scene about growing food
Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
Tables or desks to sit and color comfortably

1. Start by Talking About the Pages
Before you start coloring, explain what each page is about.
Ask questions like:
“Why is it important to love our planet?”
“What happens when the Earth gets too hot?”
Let your friends share their ideas!
2. Hand Out the Pages and Supplies
Give everyone their three coloring pages and something to color with.
Let everyone work at their own speed. If you want, play some soft music to make it relaxing.
3. Encourage Creativity
Tell your friends they can use any colors they like and add their own designs or drawings on the pages.
Invite them to talk about what they are coloring and why they chose those colors.
4. Optional: Swap Art
If you want, at the end, you can trade one colored page with a friend. It’s a nice way to remember the fun and friendship.
5. Talk About It
When everyone finishes, ask:
“What did you draw?”
“What did you learn about taking care of Earth?”
“How did you feel while coloring?”
This helps everyone share their thoughts and feelings
This activity is a great way to relax, get creative, and learn how we can all help protect our planet. Have fun coloring and caring for Earth with your friends!
