Children of the Earth United is an environmental education website for children, families, and teachers, positioned as “Environmental Education for Kids of all Ages.” Its content covers animals, plants, ecology, nature, environmental issues, Native Wisdom, nature centers, activities, books, Earth Day, and more. It is not a typical paid online course platform; it is closer to a public-interest science resource library and a children’s environmental creation community.
The site’s resources are mainly English-language web pages, including articles, children’s poems and stories, images, videos, animated presentations, activity materials, and recommended reading lists. For example, the shark section is written by Susanna Batchelor, a UK-based veterinarian with a special interest in sharks, and includes shark stories, facts, information on hammerhead sharks and whale sharks, photos, and videos. Animated presentations on Earth Day, recycling, energy conservation, rainforests, deforestation, and related topics are credited to students at University at Stony Brook. The site also encourages children around the world to submit environmental opinions, poems, and projects, giving it a strong sense of participation.
No course fees are shown in the main content. Children of the Earth United is described as a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by volunteers and supported entirely by donations. It also earns around 5% or 6% in sales commissions through Amazon links, without changing the price users pay. We did not see certificates, accreditations, credits, or a structured course completion mechanism.
Its strengths are a clear theme, strong nonprofit character, suitability for introducing children to environmental awareness, diverse resource formats, some content with professional or institutional sources, and the ability to inspire children’s expression and environmental action. The drawbacks are also clear: the captured content shows copyright years mostly from 2015–2016, so resources may be dated; there is limited course structure, learning objectives, assessment feedback, and teacher support; and some interactive animations may have compatibility or loading issues in modern browsers.
It is suitable for elementary school children, parents, and nature education teachers, and can be used for classroom introductions, Earth Day activities, animal science materials, and environmental writing prompts. It is not suitable for users looking for a structured curriculum, certificates, or Chinese-language instruction. Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the available content and is marked as unknown.
