Tabling Activity Ideas/Flyers/Stickers for the Public?

Hello!

I have been asked to host an in-person iNaturalist Q&A booth at a public nature-themed event. I am comfortable orienting folks and answering questions, but I would like to provide attendees with clear, updated instructions they can take home. Does anyone know where I can find current iNaturalist outreach materials (ideally in both English and Spanish) that are ready to print and share with the public? I am not covering Seek directly, but I would be happy to provide a handout if one is available. What I have located so far references the “classic” version.

I would also love to hear ideas from anyone who has hosted an engaging booth or activity for families. My table will be located on a concrete pad adjacent to natural areas, so direct observations are somewhat limited. I loved the bingo card activity someone shared in the forum, but given that it is fall here, the common plants featured are crispy, and the animals won’t be easily seen. I could provide cuttings in display vases, though that would not constitute wild observations.

Finally, is there a source for bulk iNaturalist stickers that can be used as small prizes or giveaways? I am hoping to design a simple game where kids can earn a sticker, but I am unable to cover the per-sticker cost in the public-facing store. I would be happy to cover a reasonable bulk fee. I thought about paper stickers, but I don’t want to infringe on the copyright. Maybe I’ll just paint acorns with happy faces if I can’t find stickers :)

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, materials, or successful examples you can share!

@carrieseltzer or @kestrel can verify, but I think it’s fine to print your own stickers with the iNat logo. I think you can print 25 2" stickers at a local print shop for around $30.
