To help us celebrate Earth Day, our buddies at Idbids has some great advice to give us on ways we can help ourselves and our children to be more friendly to our dear planet earth. So gather the kiddos and show them just how FUN it can be to keep the earth HAPPY, HEALTHY and GREEN one iddy biddy step at a time.

Looking for some planet-friendly ideas to share with your children this Earth Month? Here are some of my favorite tips (I’m Scout the cloud!) and some from my Idbids iddy biddy steps for a greener world® friends – Lola the flower and Waverly the water drop. Remember, even the littlest helping hands can make a big difference!

1. If you only have a short distance to go, ride your bike or walk with an adult. Save the car for the big trips. ~ Scout
2. Play outside – it’s lots of fun and no electricity is needed. It’s my favorite place to be! ~ Scout
3. Try reusable food containers. They’re perfect for snacks and help reduce trash. ~ Scout
4. Have a family recycling challenge – see if you can recycle more than you throw away! ~ Scout
5. Plant a garden. It’s fun to watch it grow, grow, grow! ~ Lola
6. Water your garden at the coolest time of day. ~ Lola
7. Visit the library and find books about the Earth. There are so many lovely lessons to learn. ~ Lola
8. Be clean and green by turning off the water while you brush your teeth. ~ Waverly.
9. Instead of bottled water, stay cool by drinking from a reusable container or use a glass. ~ Waverly
10. Limit your time in the shower for washing and rinsing, use only what you need! ~ Waverly
