Great for school, preschool, camps, scouts, afternoon activities, etc… Would be an awesome addition to a ocean lesson plan.
Hang a Bat House
Why? Studies show a single bat may eat as many as 5,000 mosquitoes in one night.
Some tips:
1. Your bat house should be situated to receive maximum solar radiation, especially in the morning. It should face east to absorb the morning sun yet be shaded from the blazing heat of the afternoon.
2. Mount the house at least 10 feet high under the eaves of a house or garage or in a tree sheltered from the elements.
3. If your bat house is not occupied by the second year, try a different location, or place more than one house initially.
4. If you live near a pond, lake or river, your chances of success are increased because bats need a source of water for drinking purposes. However, don’t be discouraged if the conditions are not perfect.

Character Magnets
Got a torn book? Did little Miss Colors-alot ruin some pages? Tired of the same old story? Here’s a great way to upcycle:
Reblogged from Sun Hats and Wellie Boots: We cut around the chosen images from the comic & stuck them onto a sheet of recycled card, along with any stickers from the comic. Once cut out, we added as many as possible to a laminating sheet. (You could also use contact paper / sticky back plastic.)
After laminating we cut each image out & added an adhesive magnet to the back. We ran out of adhesive magnet tape, so recycled some free magnets that came with some smoothies & attached with some double sided tape.
