Discover the different projects that are part of this initiative which aims to preserve the region's rich wildlife while also benefiting local people. You can also discover The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to explore the various local habitats to compare how animals habitats differ depending on the type of animal they are and their location in the world.
CREATE
Make a Menu: Imagine you're hosting a dinner party inspired by the theme of feeding the animals of the Serengeti. Choose appetizers, dinner courses and desserts for the various animals inhabiting this environment. Be creative! The dish can resemble the animal or represent something they may be interested in.
Cook a Dinner: Now that you've planned a menu, select one or more of the items to cook or bake. If you're feeling ambitious, make one of each item and serve them to your family or friends!
Check out these cooking resources at the library to help you with your creating your menu and dinner.
