Eco-Friendly Fun for Kids

The Pocono Center Earth Day Festival is designed to be engaging and educational for children of all ages. We believe that fostering a love for nature and environmental responsibility starts young. Our kid-friendly activities are designed to be both fun and informative, sparking curiosity and inspiring action.

Engaging Activities

We've planned a fantastic array of hands-on activities to keep kids entertained and engaged throughout the day:

• Hands-on crafts using recycled materials: Children can unleash their creativity by making bird feeders from recycled plastic bottles, constructing miniature terrariums from repurposed jars, or creating vibrant artwork using natural materials like leaves, twigs, and flowers found on the Pocono Center grounds. This fosters creativity and teaches about resourcefulness and waste reduction.
• Educational games focused on environmental awareness and conservation: Fun and interactive games will teach kids about the importance of recycling, water conservation, and protecting endangered species. Expect games like an eco-bingo, a nature-themed trivia challenge, and a "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" sorting game.
• Nature scavenger hunt around the Pocono Center grounds: Kids will embark on an exciting adventure, exploring the beautiful Pocono Center grounds while learning to identify different plants, animals, and natural features. This encourages exploration and observation skills.
• Storytelling sessions with an environmental theme: Join us for captivating storytelling sessions featuring enchanting tales about nature, animals, and the importance of protecting our planet. These stories will inspire imagination and instill environmental values.

Kid-Friendly Workshops

In addition to the fun activities, we offer interactive workshops specifically designed for children:

• Seed planting and composting workshops: Kids will learn the basics of gardening, from planting seeds to composting organic waste. This teaches them about the life cycle of plants and the importance of composting for soil health.
• Learn about native plants and pollinators: Discover the fascinating world of native plants and the vital role they play in supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Children will learn about the importance of biodiversity and how to create pollinator-friendly gardens.
