Earth Day is a special day when we think about taking care of our planet. Today, we’re going to have some fun by drawing a recycling bin and some recyclable items. Are you ready to get creative and learn something new?
Before we start, make sure you have some paper and your favorite coloring tools. Once you have everything, we’re ready to begin our drawing adventure!
1. Draw a straight line across the middle of your paper. This is the top of the recycling bin.
2. Draw two lines going down from each end of the first line. These are the sides of the bin.
3. Connect the bottom of these lines to make a rectangle.
1. On the left side of the rectangle, draw a slanted line going down to the right.
2. Do the same on the right side to make the other side of the bin.
3. Connect the bottom of these lines to finish the shape.
1. Draw a slanted line going up from the top of the bin for the lid.
2. Repeat on the other side and connect the top.
1. Draw the same slanted line shape for the opening of the bin.
2. Connect the bottom to finish the opening.
Now, let’s fill our recycling bin with things we can recycle!
1. Draw a tilted “L” shape for a piece of paper.
2. Add another page behind it by drawing a short line and another “L” shape.
3. Add more pages if you like!
1. Draw a squished circle for the top of the can.
2. Add two short lines on each side, then longer lines for the body.
3. Connect the bottom with a curve and add a small oval for the opening.
1. Draw a slanted line for one side of the box.
2. Draw matching lines on the other side and add flaps by drawing two lines on each side.
3. Connect the sides to finish the box.
1. Start with a small square for the lid.
2. Draw two slanted lines for the sides and connect them at the bottom.
3. Add a label if you want!
1. Draw a squished oval for the lid.
2. Draw two lines down from the lid and connect them at the bottom with a curve.
Let’s make our recycling bin happy!
1. Draw two circles for eyes and smaller circles inside for pupils.
2. Add a big smile, and maybe a tongue or teeth for extra fun!
Now it’s time to color your drawing! Use your favorite colors to make your recycling bin and items look amazing. You can also draw more recyclable things like electronics or different containers.
We hope you had fun celebrating Earth Day by drawing and learning about recycling. Remember, every little bit helps to take care of our planet. Happy Earth Day, and happy drawing!
Recycling Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items that can be recycled. Look for things like paper, plastic bottles, and cardboard boxes. Once you find them, draw a picture of each item and label it. Discuss with your friends or family why it’s important to recycle these items.
Create a Recycling Poster: Use your drawing skills to create a colorful poster that encourages others to recycle. Include pictures of the recycling bin and the items you learned to draw. Add a catchy slogan like “Recycle Today for a Better Tomorrow!” Hang your poster in a place where everyone can see it and be inspired to recycle.
Observation Challenge: For one week, keep a journal of all the recyclable items you and your family use. Each day, write down or draw the items you recycle. At the end of the week, count how many items you recycled and think about how this helps the Earth. Share your findings with your class or family and discuss how you can improve your recycling habits.
