Kids Can Help Animals At Home

August 31, 2019 at 12:01 pm
Kids can help save the planet and its animals. Here are some easy ways to help animals at home:

Create Space In Your Yard For Wildlife

Ask your parents to help you plant shrubs and trees in your backyard that provide food and shelter for birds and other critters.

Attract Winged Wildlife To Your Yard

Help your parents put a bird feeder and bird bath in your yard during the winter when food and water are more scarce. Create a hummingbird or butterfly garden to attract these winged creatures. Learn about the colors and smells that attract these creatures to your yard.

Observe Nature

Watch what happens to animals and their environment during the changing seasons. Birds, for example, build nests in the spring, feed and protect their young during the summer, and often migrate south in the fall for the winter.

Compost Pile

Save kitchen scraps for the compost pile. Put leftover vegetables, coffee grinds, and eggshells on your compost pile to create rich soil that plants and animals will want to live in. Make sure you have an established compost pile in your yard before you do this. If you don't, ask a parent to help you start one.

Chemicals

Ask your parents not to use harmful chemicals in your garden or home.

Think Humane

Ask your parents to use humane traps that don’t kill unwanted animals, like mice.

Save Water

Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth and use water-saving devices on your toilets, taps, and showerheads.

Packaging

Ask your parents to buy products and goods without extra packaging. Extra packaging takes up more space in landfills and reduces habitat areas for wildlife.

Donate

Don’t throw things away; give them away. Recycle your toys, books, and games by donating them to a hospital, daycare nursery school, or children’s charity.

Recycle

Recycle everything — newspapers, cans, glass, aluminum foil and pans, motor oil, scrap metal.

Be A Responsible Companion Animal Guardian

Spay or neuter your companion animals and keep an identification tag on them so if they get lost they can be returned to you. Also, make sure your companion animals get proper vet care.

Family

Make sure your companion animals are a part of the family. Make time everyday to play with your animal friends.
