Activities That Ignite Young Minds to Keep Their Planet & Bodies Healthy
One of the most important topics for all generations to understand is where our food comes from, and why it matters. By exploring sustainable food production with our kids, we’re equipping them with a fundamental knowledge that ultimately supports the overall health of our oceans, planet, animals, and people.
To spark excitement, creativity, and conversation — we’ve collaborated with homeschool tutors and teachers, registered dietitians, The Marine Mammal Center, as well as sustainability experts to develop a series of A.C.T.S. ( Art, Cooking, Technology, Science) activities that encourage kids to learn and experience sustainable aquaculture in a fun way!
LET’S GET STARTED
All A.C.T.S. activities are FREE to download! Just click the light blue boxes below!
Also, don’t forget to share the fun you’re having on social!
You could get featured on our @KvaroyKids Instagram Page. All you have to do is use #KvaroyKids and tag @KvaroyArctic.
