outline of bird kit |
All throughout the process of brainstorming ideas to
planning everything out I realized some of the main objectives I want to get out
of the kits. For the animal fur and bird kits I want to have kids who use them
to be entertained as well as educated. I want them to use their creative side
to think through the adaptations that animals have and think through questions like
why do they live in a certain habitat? Finding the balance between fun, but
educational can be quite tricky since an activity could be too fun and not have
them think about certain aspects like their habitat, while on the other hand if
it’s just boring facts they aren’t as engaged in learning but rather bored. That’s
why it needs to be educational as well as interactive.
Eventually I want the kits to match up to a season like
spring would be pollinators and flowers. With the future kits, I would love to
have them be educational as well as raise awareness about certain
misconceptions or dangers happening. For example, most kids see bee’s or wasps
and think dangerous since they have stingers, but the kits could teach about
which are valuable or which are more on the dangerous side. As well as teach
about how the bee population has dropped and the impacts would be disastrous if
we didn’t have bee’s.
