Paper Towel Earth Activity

If you are looking for a fun and easy Earth Day activity, try this Paper Towel Earth Activity!

Like creating tie-dyes, these fun paper towel earths are a blast to make! We are using only 5 materials for this activity and no prep time! You’ll need a paper towel, spray bottle, washable kids markers and a rubber elastic. The process for making these planets includes using a spray bottle, which is always fun for little ones!

materials for paper towel earth activity:

Instructions:

  • Start by cutting out a circle out of the paper towel. These planets can be any size you’d like! We kept ours about 4 inches in diameter.

  • Next, roll or scrunch up the paper towel circle and secure with a rubber elastic.

  • Using the blue and green washable kids markers, paint the paper towel from all sides.

  • Next, use the spray bottle to spray the colored paper towel. Don’t over saturate. Spray just until you see the marker inks blend.

TIP- it helps to take off the rubber elastic mid way and spray a little more into the dry areas for the colors to blend into any white parts of the paper towel.

  • Now unfold the paper towel and see your planet earth creations!
