So I was mulling next year’s festival and thinking that there is so much attention to Beavers and climate change it would be great to work into a children’s activity. Of course climate change is not the most cheerful subject. But I was thinking it would be great to build it into a kind of Tarot card hunt. You know like kids learn how beavers help with drought and collect the beavers and drought card. Etc. But everything I was imagining was too spooky.
Then I thought of Erika.
Her whimsical artwork is a hit at the beaver festival and she is a trooper when it comes to helping. When I discussed the idea with her she was willing to help out. We are working on a series of six cards based on my designs and her artwork. Definitely not spooky. But I’m thinking it gets the idea across! How about you?
There’s a few more cards left to puzzle out. But I’m thinking after kids collect all the cards they come to me for a little quiz and then get a beaver nickle! (Get it? Climate CHANGE). Jim and Judy graciously agreed to ship some our way!
A little help from our friends.
