Making the world greener for children.

Newton native, Judith Gorgone, created Planetpals adorable characters as a tool
to teach children to love and care for earth in a fun way. Planetpals Earthzone website does
just that through creative activities, crafts, games, earth science facts, ecology tips and tricks
and a monthly Ezine.

Stop by Planetpals Earthzone and meet the characters each with their own rhyme.
They teach children to love their world by learning more about it. With informative sections such as earth facts, the food chain and the wonders of the world they learn to respect it.

Planetpals helps promote and encourage environmental awareness and responsibility and gives pro active solutions with unique activities such as recycle kits, stickers, finger puppets
and online games, all exclusive to Planetals.
