Typically I like to include a scavenger hunt or a way to get you outdoor during the summer, but these are not typical times so we wanted to bring you something different.
A favorite activity is to visit our wonderful St. Louis Zoo to see all the animals and learn more about them.
The Zoo will be opening up again soon, but with safety guidelines for all visitors to keep them and, of course, the animals safe and healthy.
If that is outside your comfort zone, many zoos host virtual visits for free where you can enjoy their animals from your computer.
Here are just a few sites to check out . . . also plenty of museums offer the same tours so enjoy “getting out there” without leaving your comfort zone. (compliments of Goodhousekeeping.com) • St. Louis Zoo • National Aquarium • Monterey Bay Aquarium • San Diego Zoo • The Shedd Aquarium • Houston Zoo • Georgia Aquarium • Atlanta Zoo
Also, don’t forget to check out your local library for their summer reading programs! Question for September Kids Corner: What new animals peaked your curiosity at these zoos?
If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? What have you been doing to keep busy during quarantine? Read any good books?
Please share with us and include your name and submit to kidscorner@sdtimes.org by August 10th!
This is YOUR corner, so make it what you want!
