There are so many activities you can do with kids. Take a walk outside the classroom and talk to your students about trees. What is their favourite tree? Why do they like trees? How do trees help us? How can we help the world by planting trees?

The Wish Trees: How Planting Trees Can Help Make the World a Better Place.

Like The Wish Trees children’s tree planting book, kids can plant a wish tree (any local, native tree seedling) and then make a wish for the world. Every time they return to visit and / or care for their tree they can make more wishes for anything! They can write their wishes on 100% recycled paper butterflies and tie them to their seedlings or simply say their wish by their tree.
