Abstract
This study was conducted to develop "Environmental Scale for Children”. 106 children between 48-72 months participated in the pilot study. The scale was concluded after the statistical analysis of the findings. Statistical analyzes of “Environmental Scale for Children” data were carried out using ITEMAN statistics program. Item discrimination difficulty index calculations were calculated as biserial correlation coefficient. Test retest was conducted with 98 children and the mean of the items was found as 11.85. The Pearson Correlation coefficient calculated for test-retest reliability was 0.69. This result shows that the test-retest reliability of the measuring tool is at a sufficient level. Also, total score correlation of the evaluation criteria of the test and Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) reliability analysis was also conducted.

Summary
All kinds of living and non-living environments and relationships include the concept of the environment (Doğan, 2017). The idea of environment can be expressed as the environment in which living things interact in many ways throughout their lives and have social, physical, cultural and economic relations (Gökmen, 2011; Kuzu, 2007; Sungurtekin, 2001). Even though it gained speed after the industrial revolution, humanity faced the heavy consequences of its interventions to the environment for living spaces at different times in history. Environmental education has an important place in raising environmentally sensitive individuals (Akın, 2007; Erten, 2003; Kışoğlu et al, 2010; Madran, 1991; Marcinkowski, 2010; Morgil et al, 2005; Özdemir & Yapıcı, 2010; Sungurtekin, 2001)
