Wattisham: Wildlife Activity Packs

Wildlife Activity Packs have been created to help you learn about the native British wildlife around you in our parks and gardens. This pack is great for kids, parents, teachers and forest school leaders who would like some fun wildlife themed activities.

With over 50 activities across several packs – from wildlife guides and wordsearches to wildlife themed crafts and games – there is something for everyone of all ages! Some activities will need an adult to help but there are also many activities children can do alone as well.

To download these packs visit www.ipswich.gov.uk.
