One way that exists to save the planet and that everyone should practice is recycling; we give new usage to those already used materials, thus sustaining the planet and the humans.

To carry out a good recycling task and for it to have an impact on the planet, many people and their collaboration are needed.

Children can understand things that happen around them; you just have to find the best way for them to learn. We must be aware that they will be responsible for the planet in the future.

That's why recycling is essential to preserve natural life and human life. It is also crucial that habits are generated from an early age; this will ensure that children recycle throughout their lives.

If you want to start recycling with children, it is essential to teach them to separate waste, explaining to them there are special bins to do it and that those bins have colors that identify them.

That is the best way to teach them the problems that pollution brings and how to remedy the damage. It will be easier and more attractive for them to get all these concepts when the learning is carried out.

With recycling, children will make better usage of resources. Still, they will also be aware of social responsibility and understand that their actions have implications on others' lives and that these can be positive or negative.

They will also understand the value of saving. Without a doubt, children will grow up with values, and each day they will be better people.

Self-esteem is also strengthened in this process as they feel that their work favors the entire planet.

The following Earth Day activity for kids aims to strengthen and enhance the hands and fingers' movements when used simultaneously with the eyes.

Children will observe that they can do incredible things with recyclable materials.
