A Little Bit Batty with Jen Garner

Bats are often misunderstood, but they are fascinating creatures. Did you know that a single Little Brown Bat can eat over 600 mosquitos in an hour? Or that BC is home to 15 of Canada’s 18 species of bats?

This week we travel to Kelowna and visit with Jen Garner from the Kelowna Museums as she shows off the exhibition BATS: Out Of The Darkness and we celebrate these amazing creatures with a fun activity.

RBCM @ Home (Kids) is hosted by Chris O'Connor.

What you'll need:

  • Yarn (about 4 ft in length)
  • Metal spoon
  • Ruler

RBCM @ Home (Kids) is like a museum playdate online. Visit with members of the museum staff who are working from home, along with families from across BC, as we make and learn together. Each session will have some kind of making activity, so get your paper and pencil crayons ready. RBCM @ Home(Kids) takes place on Wednesdays at 11 am, visit our calendar for topics, presenters and a list of materials so you can join in with hands-on activities at home.

For adults and youth, check out RBCM @ Home. This program takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12pm and highlights members of the curatorial and collections staff who are working from home during the pandemic and discover how they do their work, how their work is reflected in their homes and what they're working on now.
