Are your kids fans of Gecko\u2019s Garage? Gecko\u2019s Garage is such a fun and educational YouTube channel for kids. The star of the show is Gecko, a really cheerful and friendly mechanic. With the help of his cute trusty robot sidekicks, The Mechanicals, he runs Gecko\u2019s Garage, the repair shop that cares!<\/p>\n

Gecko\u2019s Garage is a great place for kids to laugh and learn. Each Gecko\u2019s Garage episode is packed with fun as Gecko and The Mechanicals keep all the town\u2019s vehicles in tip top condition. We just love Gecko\u2019s positive can-do attitude and how he\u2019s always ready to help anyone in need and to care for his local environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Earth Day, Moonbug Entertainment has sponsored us to bring you a cute and easy, recycled CARDBOARD TUBE GECKO\u2019S GARAGE CRAFT. Now your little Gecko\u2019s Garage fans can make their own happy Gecko to play with.\u00a0 At the same time, they can learn about the importance of recycling and looking after the environment, just like Gecko and The Mechanicals do!<\/p>\n

Watch Gecko\u2019s Garage on YouTube<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the kids have finished making their own recycled Gecko, why not watch some Gecko\u2019s Garage adventures together that are perfect for Earth Day?\u00a0<\/p>\n

We love the episode \u201cGreen Saves the Trees\u201d<\/a>. In this show, silly Weasel wants to cut down Green\u2019s (one of The Mechanicals) favourite tree. Luckily, with Gecko\u2019s help they\u2019re able to show Weasel why trees are important for the planet and that they should be protected.<\/p>\n

Another episode we really love for promoting an Earth Day message is \u201cDon\u2019t Throw It, Reuse It!\u201d<\/a> This show sees Mr Weasel up to no good again, dumping his trash in the town! However, Gecko and The Mechanicals love to recycle and they have a wonderful imagination. Before long, they\u2019ve cleaned up all of Weasel\u2019s messy trash and recycled it into a brilliant helicopter!<\/p>\n

Earth Day for Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of our favourite things about Earth Day is that it\u2019s a great excuse to get crafty with the kids using things that would often just be thrown away! There are plenty of fun and easy crafts that can be made using recycled materials, and they\u2019re a great way to teach kids about the importance of taking care of the earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, grab your cardboard tubes and let\u2019s make a recycled Gecko. Then check out Gecko\u2019s Garage on YouTube<\/a> today, and see what else this happy green gecko can teach you about recycling! #InvestInOurPlanet<\/p>\n

How To Make a Cardboard Tube Gecko\u2019s Garage Craft<\/h2>\n

We love re-using rubbish to make fun crafts. We have a cardboard box, that we call our \u201cModel Making Box\u2019. It\u2019s full of useful odds and ends, saved from the trash, that are fun to craft with. Cardboard tubes are always a firm favourite with the kids and can be used for making so many different things!\u00a0 Today we\u2019re showing you how to turn a cardboard tube into your own cute Gecko!<\/p>\n
