Name That Zoo Doo
Animals come in all shapes and sizes and so does their doo. Can you correctly match the zoo animal to its doo-doo and discover how we make our sustainable Zoo Doo compost?
Create a Paper Seedling Pot
Help the earth by planting a seed. In this simple activity, you can make your own compostable flowerpot out of paper. Add soil and Zoo Doo, then plant a seed and take it home.
