Why is it important for kids to learn about climate change?
It’s never too early to start learning about climate change. Even preschoolers can begin to understand the basic concepts. And as they grow older, they can develop a deeper understanding of the issue and what they can do to help.
There are many resources available for kids who want to learn about climate change. Homeschool parents can easily incorporate lessons on the topic into their curriculum. And there are also plenty of great books, websites, and other materials that can help kids learn about the issue.
One of the most important things for kids to understand is that climate change is happening right now. It’s not something that will happen in the future; it’s happening right now. melting ice caps and declining populations of polar bears are just two of the ways that climate change is impacting our planet. And as kids learn about these things, they can also begin to understand what they can do to help make a difference.

I love watercolor artwork, and this polar bear on ice craft requires no “crafty” skills whatsoever and has an adorable finish. All you need is paints, glue, construction paper and a pair of googly eyes.
This is a cup-tastic activity for kids. All you need is a styrofoam cup, glue, black and white construction paper, wiggly eyes, a black marker, a cotton ball, and a pair of scissors, and presto! You have your own little polar bear puppet!
Getting down and crafty doesn’t get easier than this activity! All you need is a paper plate and a black marker. You’ll also need scissors to cut out the shape of the head and nose and glue or tape to tape the pieces together. Once you’ve done that and added eyes and a mouth, you’ve got a polar bear!
Cut white pieces of paper into bear paw shapes and write little facts about polar bears on them. You can use some card stock to make them more durable. Let them act as stepping stones for your young ones and have fun learning!
Everyone loves milkshakes, right? Add some milk and a couple drops of honey to your ice cream and voila! You have a perfect milkshake. Use an empty honey bottle in the shape of a bear to make that even more polar effect.
Who doesn’t love an edible polar bear? Grab some ice cream, little chocolate candies, and some clear gumdrops for this adorable polar bear.
Combine math with social studies with this math game. All it requires is black and white felt and scissors. The white will act as icebergs and the black for the number of them. Your children can act as polar bears and must leap to each iceberg in the correct numerical order. But there are so many other ways to use this as well. You can teach your child to subtract, add, or even count by two’s.
If you and your kids have a white chocolate tooth then you’ll love these delicious and adorable treats! All you need is popsicle sticks, Reese’s cups (white chocolate), black jelly beans, optional red bowtie sprinkles, and, of course, a square of Candiquik. The end will result in tasty polar bear snacks on a stick.
Everyone loves finger puppets, but some don’t like how long they take to sew. Say good-bye to that; all you need to do is cut and glue for this project. Another great thing is how you can most all the supplies at your local dollar stores, or at least at cheap prices. Fun doesn’t always have to be expensive!
