Here's the whole world in your hands — well, on paper at least. These printable Earth templates show our planet as a simple globe, ready to colour, cut out and craft. They're a favourite for Earth Day, geography lessons and learning about the world we live in. Download and print them for free, then pick a globe below and print the full-size image.

Earth Day crafts

  • Colour the globe blue and green, then cut out the continents and paste them in place
  • Write a promise inside the globe about one way to help look after our planet
  • Make a torn-paper Earth by gluing on scraps of blue and green paper
  • Add the Earth to a poster or bulletin board for an Earth Day display

Learn about our world

A globe is a great way to explore geography — find the continents and oceans and talk about where we live. It's also our home in space: pair the Earth with the sun to start a chat about the solar system. And of course, Earth is covered in nature — add some trees and talk about why it's so important to take care of our planet.
