  1. Life after Lockdown - A Day at The Natural History Museum

    Posted on

    After over a year of lockdowns and staying at home, life here in the Uk has slowly been taking steps back to normality. One of the big things that me and the boys have missed is museum days and especially our favourite place, The Natural History Museum in London. So with normality on the horizon and places opening back up I decided to get us along to the museum for a day out and finally see the Fantastic Beasts exhibition that I have been extremely excited about for what feels like forever.

    How to use your amazing animals cards.

    So if you already have a set of my amazing animals fact cards you will know that one of the ways I suggest to use them is testing each other on the facts. You start by reading the cards together and learning the information and then you can turn it into a game, pull out a card and see if the other person can answer a question about it, or tell you its scientific name, score points for each correct answer and see who knows the most….
