Not only did i get a free coffee at Starbucks for bringing my own mug today, but the earth lovin' also spread to the kids at school! The kids were so excited to help out our planet by cleaning up our school yard. We also had some good talks about garbage and the importance of recycling. Check out our adorable little craft in honour of our beautiful planet's special day... coffee filter earths!

Materials
  ❧ Round coffee filters
  ❧ Black paper
  ❧ White tempera paint
  ❧ Toothbrush
  ❧ Washable markers
  ❧ Spray bottle (water)
 ❧  Scissors
  ❧ Glue


Instructions: 
Earth: Cut out the middle circle in the coffee filter. Draw with blue and green markers. Next, spray a bit of water and watch the colors mix and give a "tie-dye" effect.
Space background: dip a tooth brush in white paint (you can water it down a little) and with your fingers, "fling" the paint onto a black piece of paper, and watch as your mini-cosmos takes shape! Let dry and glue down your Earth! Voilà!

This one looks like a marble!

Prehistoric? When all the continents were together?
