An Easy Earth Day Bulletin Board Idea for Kindergarten
One of my favorite things about April has always been updating our hallway bulletin board with student work. After winter, I’m ready for something fresh, and my students are, too! An easy idea that everyone will love is to make an Earth Day bulletin board. Creating an Earth Day craft is a simple way to create a bright spring bulletin board and celebrate Earth Day, and it’s even better if it incorporates a little writing practice.
Today, I’m going to share an Earth Day craft and writing activity that I know you’ll love. If you’ve been looking for an Earth Day bulletin board idea, you’re in the right place!
How to Make an Earth Day Bulletin Board
Putting together an Earth Day bulletin board doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a simple way to assemble your board:
- Cover your bulletin board with blue or green paper.
- Staple or attach a blue, green, or Earth Day-themed border around the edge.
- Add a phrase to the board (there are some ideas below!)
- Attach student crafts to the board.
- Add any decorations you would like, or keep it simple. It will look great either way!

Earth Day Writing Prompts for Kindergarten
My Earth Day Craft and Writing Activity comes with the following ready-to-use prompts:
1. I Can Help the Earth
Sentence starter idea: “I can help the Earth by…”
2. I Love the Earth
Sentence starter idea: “I love the Earth because…”.
3. Earth Day
This one is intentionally open-ended and students can write anything they know about Earth Day. A couple sentence starters could be “On Earth Day I can…” or “On Earth Day, we…”.
I highly suggest reading some Earth Day read alouds to build knowledge about Earth Day before doing the writing portion. I’ve linked a roundup of Earth Day read alouds here, or you can click on the image below to check it out.
Make this Simple and Meaningful Earth Day Bulletin Board!
An Earth Day bulletin board doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming to be meaningful. When students create a craft and add a piece of writing, your bulletin board quickly turns into something really special because it’s filled with their ideas and their work. It’s a simple way to celebrate Earth Day while also practicing writing and fine motor skills at the same time.
