We are very excited to introduce three new programs we have designed for the 2010 summer reading theme "Go Green". These programs represent the very best that Animal World Experience has to offer and we have spent countless hours pouring our hearts and minds into their design.  As our audiences have come to expect, all of our new programs feature a multitude of live animals that children get to pet or hold. Throughout each presentation, interactive games or projects are included to encourage audience participation and leave kids enlightened and inspired to "Go Green" like never before.

Going Green in Your Backyard

Imagine if there was a way for your backyard to benefit wildlife while still being beautiful and functional to you. There is!  In this intriguing and interactive program we discuss why animals have such a hard time surviving in the average backyard. Kids will meet live animals that they may hope to encounter outside their home as we explore some of the many ways to help them. Using 100% recycled materials; a volunteer from the audience will have the opportunity to help construct a simple birdhouse that they can bring home with them. There will also be many other projects and ideas discussed that children can implement in their own yard.

Going Green Around the World

What in the world does helping animals have to do with Going Green? Actually, more than you would expect!  In this program featuring live animals, we show kids how an ecosystem is made up of plants, animals and people that depend on each other for survival. We then explain what happens when parts of an ecosystem are missing. Members of the audience will be chosen to participate in an interactive game that teaches children how every plant, animal and person is important to the balance of nature. As we show many of our exotic animals, we discuss how to help animals around the world which in turn also helps every plant or person.

Going Green with Your Pets

In this imaginative program, children will discover why it is better to "adopt" their pets rather than buy one or catch a wild animal from outdoors. As always, we will showcase many of our own adopted and rescued animals of all kinds and volunteers from the audience will even get to pet or hold some of them. We also teach kids how to make pet toys from recycled materials or common household items that are normally thrown in the trash. Several volunteers from the audience will then get to help make a toy out of recycled materials that they can bring home for their pet!
