While you may reside on Planet Earth, how often do you take a moment to truly appreciate it? Earth Day is a wonderful occasion, but our gratitude for Mother Earth should be expressed every day of the year. After all, without her, we wouldn’t be here—at least not in this solar system. So, how can you instill a sense of wonder and appreciation in your children? By teaching them about the incredible gifts that Earth has to offer!
Younger kids may not grasp the complexities of geological layers or atmospheric phenomena, but they can certainly enjoy the beauty of our planet through art. That’s where our selection of Earth-themed coloring pages comes in! From lush jungles and vibrant rainforests to air-purifying trees, Earth is much more than just a sphere floating in space—she’s truly enchanting. As your little ones develop their coloring skills—a key part of preparing for kindergarten—these free printables will provide opportunities to share fascinating facts about their home. Expect to spark curiosity and questions, which is exactly what learning is meant to inspire.
If your aspiring scientist finishes these coloring pages, encourage them to explore more of Earth’s wonders with mountain, tree, ocean, flower, and volcano coloring pages.

Although Earth isn’t flat, it’s also not a perfect sphere! A combination of gravity and centrifugal force causes our planet to have a slight bulge around its equator. That’s right—Mother Earth has a little extra love around the middle!

Do you know the circumference of Earth? At the equator, it measures nearly 25,000 miles! To put that in perspective, you’d need about eight oil changes to drive your car around the Earth at its widest point—if only that were possible!

Some of the oldest trees in the world can be found in California, where sequoias can live for 4,000 to 5,000 years. However, the oldest rocks on Earth, located in the Nuvvuagittuq Belt in Quebec, Canada, are around 4.28 billion years old, making them nearly as ancient as the planet itself.

Earth is covered in massive rock-like structures known as tectonic plates. These plates shift and move, causing earthquakes and mountain formations. Interestingly, the Earth’s core is as hot as the surface of the sun—both hover around 10,000 degrees!

Shifts in tectonic plates can lead to earthquakes. The most powerful earthquake recorded happened in Chile in 1960, measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale. Such seismic activity can be devastating, often triggering tsunamis as well.

Earth is not just about rocks; it also encompasses ice! For instance, Antarctica is a continent covered in ice. While it’s not the coldest place on record (that title belongs to Russia), it is known for its persistently frigid temperatures, averaging around -100 degrees. Surprisingly, Antarctica is classified as a desert, receiving only about two inches of precipitation each year.

When you think of deserts, you might picture places like Death Valley in the American Southwest. Not only is it extremely hot, but it’s also home to “walking rocks.” These large boulders mysteriously move across the ground, leaving trails, and while theories abound, we like to think it’s due to “strange forces.”

You might think of the Earth’s poles as being static, but they are actually quite dynamic! Earth’s poles shift and wobble over time, typically every 200,000 to 300,000 years, and this process takes several centuries.

Did you know that, at one point in history, all the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangea? This massive landmass began to break apart roughly 180 to 200 million years ago, leading to the formation of the North Atlantic Ocean.

While Earth may be special in our solar system, scientists believe there are many Earth-like planets in other galaxies. Whether they host life forms like ours is a different question entirely. This topic could lead to exciting discussions about aliens, which we explore in our other post.
