Hey everyone, very long time no see! I've been out of the mantis game for a while now but it was never forgotten.
I've been working with an afterschool enrichment program for a while now, and have always wanted to bring mantids to the kids. I found a huge chinese mantis last year and the kids went nuts over it!
Anyways, point is I want to order some mantises - but I need to have information and activities to go a long with it. I'm thinking of making sheets with educational information and activities involving drawing and what not (these are fourth and fifth graders).
I just wanted to see, maybe some of you have done something like this or similar - and I know a lot of you do presentations. Any input is appreciated! The activities we run usually run around 50 minutes, so just trying to think of things to do besides just look at and feed them.
Thanks again!
