Nature Study Challenge
A great way to see Oklahoma's natural world is to visit a state park . If you're unable to travel, this Nature Study Challenge takes you on virtual trips to special places across Oklahoma. Your guides for these virtual trips are Oklahoma State Parks and the Oklahoma Nature Conservancy. The primary source of information for native wildlife is the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. This Nature Study Challenge has two parts; the "Oklahoma Pathfinder" and the "State Park Scientist." You can complete one or both! You'll earn rewards for each part that you complete .

Rain Forest Day
Did you know that 80% of the world's food originated in the rainforest? There are many easily accessible, rainforest related products to be used in a celebration.
Some food items that could be used include: coffee, corn, rice, ginger, chocolate, bananas, beans, mangoes, chewing gum, lemons, sweet potatoes, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, tapioca, avocados, coconut, cinnamon, tea, pineapples, oranges, cashew nuts, macadamia nuts, and many, many more.
This post provides many ideas to host your own Rain Forest day, including ways to decorate, refreshment ideas, and fun games to play. A major success was the blow dart game using straws and q-tips dipped in paint!
