Eeboo - Going Green Through Flash Cards

I'm always on the lookout for ways to teach my four-year-old about conservation other than asking her to turn off the lights 400 times a day (followed by my long boring speech about saving the earth).

Thankfully, Eeboo has created these cool Respect the Earth flashcards that can help support your message. This set of 48 brightly illustrated cards along with a helpful parent guide offer simple lessons for kids 5 and up, like recycling plastic, turning off the water, and my favorite, playing with toys that don't require batteries. Here here!

We all know that learning by example is great, but a little help from cute animals can never hurt the cause. -Kristen
