I am starting preparations for my daughter’s school’s Earth Day celebration. I am trying to think of fun and interesting activities for the kids to do. I’m also researching interesting environmental groups who might come to run an activity or have an informational table.

For some reason I have something stuck in my head and I can’t seem to find who does it. Have you ever seen bikes that are rigged to have a blender on the back? The person pedals and blends smoothies. It’s really fun and I think the kids would absolutely love powering their own smoothies. I just can’t seem to figure out who would bring one of these bikes to our event in Brooklyn. Does anyone know?

And if anyone knows of a great organization or activity, let me know!

I will say ahead of time that I do not like activities where you take something that should be recycled and then make something that will just end up getting tossed by the parents. Paper plates that are painted to look like the earth. Plastic “solar” beads. I’m not thinking of good examples right now, but I think you get the gist.
