This year's festival will be offering a wide variety of activities to keep kids happy and engaged.
Activities for children include:
Meet and Greet with the "Critters". Kids can't get enough of the Ecology Center's animals. Let them meet them face-to-face at this year's festival.
Making Bracelets with Solar Beads. Kids will have fun with this activity that is inspired by the festival's Alternative Energy theme.
Interacting with a Model Wind Turbine. How does a wind turbine generate power? Kids will find out when they interact with this small, wood working wind turbine.
Making Choices. How should children make good choices when it comes to environmental decision-making. HEART (Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers) will be presenting this activity in the Kids' Room all day during the festival.
Energy Bike. Just how much energy does a compact florescent light bulb save? Test it out yourself! Use your own energy to peddle the bike and light incandescent and CFL bulbs to feel the difference!
Ricky Recycle. “Ricky Recycle is a dynamic, high-energy, fun-filled, interactive and educational program using word, song, comedy and extreme zaniness to teach all the benefits of recycling. Covering where materials come from, how they are processed into products and how those materials are re-processed into new and sometimes unexpected goods.”
