As we said yesterday, today, June 5, World Environment Day is celebrated, and we can celebrate it with our children in many ways.
One of them is to dedicate a moment of the day to read together a story about our natural environment and the importance of your care. Here I leave some examples of stories that we can find on the Internet and that will help us to have a good time with the little ones while raising awareness about environmental issues.
The Biodiversity Foundation has several stories about the environment on its website, with very colorful drawings that will undoubtedly attract the attention of the little ones. Like those for meet animals in danger: to the brown bear, to the capercaillie, to the lynx, in which the children themselves will be able to pass them leaves, or stories to read or download in pdf. like "The 3 Secrets of the Environment" or "The Red Spring Salmon".
Also from Ecoloquia we have several stories and legends related to the natural environment, such as "The legend of the Iguazu Falls" or the "Tales of the jungle" from Horacio Quiroga.
The story "A hot heat" was edited by the Directorate General for the Environment of the European Union to help children in the reflection on climate change and drought.
4 more stories Econoticias offers us, such as "The Comedian Park Ranger" by Horacio Quiroga himself or "The man who planted seeds."
A whole book on-line titled "Tales of Flora and Fauna", by author Griselle J. Velasco Rodríguez, published by the National Polytechnic Institute of Oaxaca (Mexico) is the one that offers 7 stories. These are longer than those seen above and for older children, and apart from ecological teachings which aims to transmit to children through the characters of nature, educates them in values such as friendship, love, courage, effort ...
Now I can only say: Happy environment day!
