Parents: This week our witchlings are going to get to know the element of the earth up close and personal. If you live in an area where you can not get outside during the time of year you are doing this lesson you can opt to buy a potted plant or even better fill a roll under the bed storage tote with dirt and rocks for your child.

Earth Activities:

This week’s big activity is to simply go outside and dig your hands in the dirt. Collect rocks and spend time holding them to feel their energy field. Bring a few rocks or a small bowl of dirt or sand home to place on your altar to represent earth. Spend time all week revisiting the outdoors to feel the earth beneath your feet and in your hands while you practice grounding and centering you learned earlier.

More activities for the earth element:

Plant seeds or add a new live house plant to your home.

Make a sensory bin with dirt, rocks, and small toys like fairly garden decorations to make a great place to play. (Tip if using this indoors place the bin in the middle of a kiddy pool or on top of a shower curtain for easy cleanup.)

Take some time to go do a park, beach, or roadside clean up.
