Water Plant Art
There are a wide variety of aquatic plants, from tiny lemna to large water lilies, and all are essential to the web of life in aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic plants are a food source for many animals, release dissolved oxygen into the water, absorb excess nutrients in the water and help control erosion along shorelines, among many other benefits. Use Project WILD Aquatic’s “Water Plant Art” to explore the world of aquatic plants. Create beautiful works of art using pressed aquatic plants and other art supplies. Have fun!
Family Fun:
Get the whole family involved! Gather together art supplies and head to your local wetland, pond or stream to draw pictures of what you see. Then take your creations home to hang on the fridge!

Are You Me?
We all know that frogs start their lives as tadpoles, but did you know that dragonflies make their start as nymphs? Many aquatic wildlife species do not resemble the adults that they will eventually become. Use Project WILD Aquatic’s “Are You Me?” to explore and match aquatic animal young and adults.
Family fun:
Head to a local pond or stream and look for aquatic animals and their young. Take nets to find whirling beetles, mayfly nymphs and cranefly larva in the water. Watch the shoreline for baby ducks, otters or turtles. When you get home make drawings of and talk about the animals that you saw.

Water Wings
All the water on Earth is connected in some way. Clouds drop water on the land in the form of rain, rainwater filters through the ground to rivers, and rivers ultimately flow to the ocean. And just like all water on Earth is connected, all life on Earth is connected in the same basic need for water. Plants, animals and people all rely upon Earth’s water resources to survive. Without water, there would be no life. Use Project WILD Aquatic’s “Water Wings” to explore the interconnectedness of all the Earth’s waters, learn about the water cycle and discover why water is so important to life on Earth. Then stretch your creative muscles and write a poem about water!
