Educational Displays
Our goal with our educational displays is to connect children (and adults) with animals in agriculture. Todays society (in the states) is so far removed from the farm and understanding the basic principles of animals in agriculture and further, animals in our daily lives, that we want to bridge that gap.
Our displays are two-fold: Fun and interactive for children and educational and interesting for adults. Our displays are attractive and meant to draw peoples attention. The signs have many interesting facts and information, they are easy to understand, and relay to younger audience. There’s plenty of hands on for the younger generation! We are continually adding and working on ways to make this a great learning experience!
