In a couple weeks, I am going to be helping with a spring camp at the humane society I now work at. Part of my 'help' is going to be doing an "interaction", as we call them, with the kids and a few of my scaley beasts. Due to it being springtime, the theme is 'animal families', so if my babies are still eating like pigs I'll be bringing them along with the adults.

My question for you all is: suggestions? Any ideas for keeping things kid friendly? The kids will all be 12 and under.
I'm trying to create an outline of things that I want to say/how I'd like the interaction to go, I'm just hitting a block as to content. I want to get this part figured out now so I can spend the rest of the time worrying about the possibility of one of my snakes pooping on my boss.

Thanks in advance!!
