HELP TEACH YOUR CHILD THE IMPORTANCE OF EARTH DAY | ||||||
|
It is important to explain to your kids what Earth Day represents, and what you do as a family; not just one day, but every day.
By implementing these suggestions, you are teaching your kids energy conservation; recycling; increasing plant and tree growth; respect nature; reduce toxins in the air; keep the environment clean; planting trees and flowers to increase oxygen; reduce air pollution; and love and respect all animals who inhabit the earth. Imagine if everyone took the time to implement just one of these suggestions, we would truly be able to preserve this precious earth for our kids and generations to come. Teaching your kids the importance of Earth Day has become necessary to the future of our planet. | |||||||

Earth Day Eggs
You will need hard boiled eggs (Boil eggs for 12 minutes. Immediately take them out and put them in cold water to cool off) blue, green and yellow food coloring vegetable oil white vinegar water coffee mugs or other containers 3 spoons paper towels newspaper or a plastic disposable tablecloth What you do Put one tablespoon of oil and one tablespoon of vinegar in each coffee mug. In one mug, add a teaspoon of blue food coloring. In another add a teaspoon of green, and in the third add a teaspoon of yellow. Add water to each cup to make them 3/4 full. This allows space for adding the egg so that it will not overflow. Cover work surface with tablecloth or newspaper. Lay out some paper towels to lay wet eggs on to dry. Place a spoon in each mug of food coloring mixture. Hold egg in one hand at the ready. Choose a color, then stir the mixture with the spoon to create a whirlpool type motion. Once swirling, quickly lift the spoon out of the mixture and place the egg on the spoon. Dip immediately into the mixture, holding in the mixture for only a few seconds, then remove. Place on a paper towel. Repeat this process for each egg. Once all eggs have been dipped in the blue mixture, move on to the green. Start with the egg you did first and repeat the process as above with green mixture. Again, lay on paper towels until done with all eggs. At this point, you may choose to add more green or blue to individual eggs depending on how they look. Repeat with yellow if you desire. We did yellow on some but not all. Carefully dry all eggs with paper towels, the oil makes them slippery! The oil will also give them a nice shiny coating. | ||||||

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS
Release date: Friday, 3 April 2009 Running time: 1hr 34min Ages: PG for sci-fi action, some crude wit and mild language When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and imminent destruction.
