kids' activity
TURKEY TIME! (Not that one . . .)
Turkey Time. Bird Feeders. Biodiversity. What do these have in common?
Just this: Kennett's "birdseed turkeys" are on the kids' menu today. (No, the kids won't eat them.) Children will create and decorate paper turkeys, fill them with birdseed, and learn about some endangered domestic turkey breeds, how they can be preserved, and why biodiversity is so important!
