The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) released an interactive online activity center for parents and caretakers of preschool and young school children.

The site, propanekids.com, includes games, activities and science experiments for children, designed to reinforce the importance of propane safety and education with a focus on the farm.

On the site, parents, caregivers and their children can explore a virtual farm or create their own, play games like farm bingo and spot-the-difference, color digital coloring pages and more.

“Millions of school age children have been thrust into a remote learning environment this spring, and many parents are left to their own devices to find engaging, fun ways to keep children learning while they are at home,” says Tucker Perkins, president and CEO of PERC. “We wanted to do our part to help provide a fun, free learning center for young children, and we think parents are going to really like what propanekids.com has to offer.”

Nearly 40 percent of farms in America rely on propane in their farming and ranching operations to run pumps and engines, heat buildings, and dry and process crops.
