We would like to introduce to you a website for children's Enviornmental Education.

www.kidsrgreen.org is an interactive website for children who love exploring, enquiring, investigating and discovering the world we live in.

This exclusive online monthly environmental magazine has many interesting features. Spaceship earth is a regular feature in every issue. Each one talks about an interesting aspect of our planet earth. Key points supported by illustrations help to explore different environments, plant and animal life, and learn about systems that support the rich life on earth.

In the Green Games section, children can "logon" and play games that not just challenge skills and abilities but set one thinking, and at the end convey an environmental message.

The Let's Do It! section gives simple do-it-yourself activity ideas. Children can do them on their own, or with friends.

The Celebrate a Day section has a calendar of environmentally significant days, giving a brief history or background of why the day is observed, including some ideas for activities that would help anyone to observe these days with in school or with family and friends.

The Krg Club is a forum where children can share poems, paintings and thoughts on the environment. It is a chance to let other children in the world know more about oneself and what one does to improve the environment

The Green Gifts section has attractive downloadable offers. It is exciting to select designs for personalized stationery like letterheads, visiting cards, and bookmarks.

There is something new in every issue.

Kidsrgreen is a window to become a part of a green world. And it is just a click away!
