A story-based paper craft that teaches kids to care for our planet — one band-aid at a time.
Meet our sad little Earth — and help kids discover how to make it smile again! This imaginative puppet craft guides children through a touching narrative: the Earth is hurting, and it needs YOUR help. Students apply eco-action bandages to the kawaii-style Earth puppet, building genuine environmental empathy along the way.
This isn't just a craft. It's a structured literacy and SEL experience that sparks meaningful conversations about responsibility, kindness, and environmental action. The included emergent reader story script makes it perfect for whole-class read-alouds or small group literacy sessions.
