Kids nature activities
We love nature, because when we take care of nature, we take care of our water too!
Whilst we’re all spending a little more time indoors recently, it’s really important we take some time to go outside and enjoy nature.
Whether it’s bug hunting in your garden, a walk or wildlife spotting, just being in nature is great for your kids health and wellbeing and encourages them to nurture wildlife too!
From making a bug house to cracking secret codes, whatever kind of outdoor space you have nearby, we’ve got something for them to enjoy and learn.
Our activities are suitable for KS1 (ages 5-7) and KS2 (ages 7-11). You can complete them online or print them.
