Party Decorations You won't have any difficulties in picking party decorations and supplies which could fit the Earth Day theme: * cups, plates, invitations, streamers, wrapping paper and other paper goods which are made from recycled materials; * green or blue base colors accented with flowers, trees, globes, or other natural details; * hang inflatable globes around the party area or use them as beach balls; * natural decorations like potted plants or flowers can be also used as party favors; * awareness posters or educational posters carrying environmental themes, such as the water cycle, types of gemstones, or recycling motifs; * a birthday cake is a shape of a globe, animal, or a recycling symbol; * recycling- seeds or small plants used as party favors. Party Activities There are a lot fun party activities which can suit great for the Earth Day birthday, such as: * Visiting a recycling center
* Making a contest of picking up litter at a beach, park or other public place * Reading books or stories about nature to younger guests * Going to a zoo, botanical garden, aquarium, or plan any other other educational facility * Having fun outdoors with a hike, bird watching party, or other environmentally-friendly event * Arranging a guided educational nature walk * Planting a tree or planting flowers, herbs, or vegetables in a garden * Building birdhouses or birdfeeders Gifts You should choose special gifts for the party which will enhance an Earth Day theme and still can remain thoughtful symbols of friendship and appreciation for the recipient. There are a lot of different environmental awareness groups which can propose you wildlife adoption programs that include small plush animals or certificates which can serve as gifts, or, if you are interested, you can sponsor planting a tree or keeping a highway clean as part of an environmentally-friendly gift. Zoo memberships, gifts made from recycled materials, bird feeders, and environment-related books (bird watching, conservation, etc.) are also great party gifts.
