Animal Wonders Our programs and activities are fun, educational, interactive, age-appropriate, and customized for children and adults. NO MAMMALS are used in our programs.

Animal Wonders (http://www.animalwonders.net) offers conservation, ecology, and animal educational programs to enhance appreciation and understanding of the natural world. We create and bring our programs to your school for in-class workshops, after-school programs, as well as pre-schools/daycares, scouts, 4-H, FFA, summer camps, youth groups, senior living centers, scouting events, community events, library events, birthday parties, corporate functions, benefits, or any special outing in Missouri or Kansas. We feel that it is important that the students get to see the animals in person during our programs. All of our animals are safe when handled by our educators, most of which have been employed & trained by AZA accredited institutions. The species that will be presented will be customized to the program selected. We have a variety of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that will enhance the program. Animal Wonders DOES NOT condone private ownership nor would expose any children to primates, wild canids, and wild felids. Having many years experience with these species in the zoo world, they have no place in area where children are present. I am parent myself and I wouldn't allow my son to attend an event where these types of animals are present, outside of an AZA approved enclosure. WE ARE NOT THE COMPANY THAT TAKES ORDERS FOR OR SELLS BABY EXOTIC ANIMALS!!! Our animals are for educational purposes; they are not circus acts, a petting zoo, or performers.

Girl Scouts of NE Kansas & NW Missouri leaders, we don’t want to miss out getting you on the schedule this year! We’re in the STEM section page 47 of the flip book or share these screen shots. It’s already October and after a good 25-26 school year, we’re way behind normal scheduled meetings this year. A few new badge opportunities have been added this year as well.

Our Ghouls Night Out Event is approaching and we are so excited! We will have a hayride, games, prizes, and a trunk or treat all lined up for everyone. Tickets can be purchased in advance on our website or at the door on the day of the event.

To help us kick this off strong we are looking for a few more volunteers to help run mini-games and participate in the hayride fright festivities. If you are interested in helping at this event please reach out to [email protected].

We will see you there!

Let’s Go Plirding!
🚮🗑️
This International Coastal Cleanup Day, grab your binoculars, a bag, and a pair of gloves, and give birds a helping hand while you’re out birding.
“Plirding" means picking up trash while birding, and was inspired by “plogging” (picking up litter while jogging) — and even a few pieces can make or break healthy habitat!
Keep an eagle eye out for fishing line, balloons, and plastic, all of which can harm birds and other wildlife. Try picking up trash on the way back from your bird walk, designate a pocket of your birding bag for litter, or make a cleanup part of your next group outing.

Let’s clean up the places birds call home — one piece of trash at a time.

“Plirding” was created and championed by Ray Brown’s Talkin' Birds Radio Show. Learn more on their website: https://www.talkinbirds.com/plirding
