Make a paper house with lights that switch off
Celebrate Earth Hour
Activity time 40 minutes
During Earth Hour we switch off the lights in our homes and businesses to give the planet a break from electricity use.
In this video, we make a house out of cardboard with lights that we can switch off and learn about how we can help the environment.
