In today’s world we make it a point to raise our children to be environmentally conscious. We teach them to treasure the Earth, and the animals and plants that live here with us. And at a very early age, your child is learning terms like "pollution", "recycle", "organic" and "earth-friendly".
Because of this early, environmentally-conscious outlook, kids tend to look at our planet in a rather protective way. Often even the youngest kids notice that factories, cars, and trucks put smoke and smog into the air we breathe. This activity helps your child become even more aware of what happens when pollution enters our air, and reinforces her love of the environment, which we all should share.
