Beaver supporters had an exciting festival planning meeting yesterday. I’m starting to feel that the year our event is going to be really dynamic. There will be more things for kids to do and more exhibitors and more excitement that we’ve ever had. FRo brought her sketch for the curtain panels kids will be painting, which will be wonderful and useful to us for years to come. (I’m thinking they’ll make an awesome backdrop for the stage). Kids will get to their own chalk alongside Amy on the ‘chalk walk’. And Amy’s unfolding art will dominate in the center all day long.
At the same time, kids can come to my booth to start building their very own beaver ponds. They will pick up a lovely empty pond version on a card and then go around to all the exhibits to fill it in by learning how beavers help those species.Then getting three stickers from each exhibit which will show three parts of that animals life. The back of the card will have an illustration to help them.
At the end, every child’s empty pond will go from this to this!
The curtains will be amazing, I can already tell. The children’s chalk on the sidewalk will be excellent. And everyone who built their own beaver pond can take it home with them!
Stay tuned, this is going to be fun.
