Earth Day coloring page with globe, banner, stars, leaves, and sprouting plants

Earth Day Globe with Leafy Border

A big Earth globe sits under an “EARTH DAY” ribbon, framed by stars, dots, curling vines, leaves, and tiny sprouts.

🎨 How to color it

Color the oceans turquoise blue, the continents leafy green and sandy tan, the EARTH DAY banner sunshine yellow, and the stars bright white or gold. Use sharp colored pencils for the small leaves, dots, and curled vines, then switch to smooth marker strokes for the wide globe sections. Try making the leafy border darker at the bottom and lighter near the banner, like new growth reaching toward the sky.

Ori’s Quiet Earth Game — Behind the warm glass of the orbital greenhouse, Ori slid paper stars around a tray of basil and whispered the rules of a brand-new game: leave a green gift where nobody would know who did it. Read the full story →

Behind the warm glass of the orbital greenhouse, Ori slid paper stars around a tray of basil and whispered the rules of a brand-new game: leave a green gift where nobody would know who did it. The basil smelled peppery, and Earth turned below like a blue marble in a dark bowl. Ori wanted one real leaf from the supply nursery to tuck beside the biggest star.

The nursery was three corridors away. Ori floated past humming pipes, gave up the last dried peach slice to bribe the sticky air lock, and found only one silver packet of moonflower seeds. “That’s better,” Ori murmured. Back in the greenhouse, the packet went under the ribboned note for the night gardener, with a star pressed flat on top.

In the morning, no one clapped. No one guessed. But a new pot waited by Ori’s basil, labeled FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS A QUIET PLACE. Next time you spot the stars and leaves around Earth, can you keep Ori’s game secret too?
