2. WWW.EARTHONEAMAZINGDAY.COM HERE COMES THE SUN THE MAGICAL DANCE OF EARTH AND SUN IS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ON OUR PLANET.

Colour us in!

The sun is close enough to us for essential life-giving energy for our creatures, plants and habitats, but far enough away that we are not scorched by its heat. It is a perfect balance to ensure life on earth continues, as it has done for millions of years. As the earth spins on its axis, and night turns to day, the sun bathes the planet in light, giving energy to our animals and plants, sending night-time adventurers scurrying into the shadows and waking the creatures from slumber.

The sun evaporates water from land and sea, and this builds into clouds that will give essential rainwater for the creatures.

Can you colour in a beautiful sunrise for them to wake up to? Use reds, yellows and oranges to create a really stunning dawn scene!

FUN FACT Plants take the sun’s light and use a process called photosynthesis to grow!

Since she’s been asleep, her breakfast has grown around her. Can you draw lots of bamboo growing around her so she has more to eat and can feed her cub? FUN FACT Pandas eat for up to 14 hours a day!
