Trying to explain the importance of the world around us to kids is sometimes a bit challenging. I can tell Connor all day long about recycling and why we use cloth rags instead of paper towels any chance we get and he just doesn't really listen. Even showing him videos about landfills and how they are over crowded would just get a "cool" response from him at this point as he would be more interested in the bull dozers than the trash or he'd just be excited about the huge mound of trash, he is after all a three year old boy. Though if it his cartoon friends think it's important or it's a big adventure suddenly he gets it!
WordGirl will be celebrating Earth Day with a new episode all about this very important subject and she says it pretty well, if we don't take care of the Earth there will be no place to celebrate birthdays! Even just the thought of no more birthdays would be enough to get Connor's attention especially seeing as we just had his super mega birthday party here a few days ago.
You can tune in to see the WordGirl Earth Day episode tomorrow 4/22 and check out the Word Girl website for more information as well as show times.We'll be watching here in Alabama at 3:30 pm which is usually right after Connor gets up from his nap! How could we not? It's a great opportunity for Connor to learn more about why we need to take care of our Earth in the language he can understand! As well I have to admit I totally dig the whole super hero with a massive vocabulary!
