Today is World Wetland Day so we’re looking at all things wetland. Wetlands are a particularity good eco-issue for kids to get involved with because wetlands can be extremely interesting places for kids; full of animals, gooey wetness, plants, dirt, and all sorts of neat stuff.
With the above in mind, I rounded up some very cool wetland projects for kids…
Introduce your kids to the Estuarians -nine loveable action heroes who serve as wetland mascots for the America’s WETLAND Campaign’s fight to save Louisiana’s coast. The info provided by these fun characters is not totally specific to Louisiana though.
Build a wetland in a pan. Or try building this wetland or another version.
