  1. Create you own Amazing Animal Comic Strip

    Posted on

    EDIT : This was a total flop and no one entered lol So even tho it was a failure I am leaving it up in case anyone wants to create a comic strip just for fun :)

    Competition now closed

    I thought it was about time we had another competition, I know so many of you loved the create your own amazing animal competition so I wanted to do something creative again, and inspiration came in a photo I was sent recently of an amazing comic strip created by a young animal lover inspired by my amazing sharks fact cards.

  2. Send a life size hug

    Posted on

    I don't think its any surprise that we are all starting to find this lock down hard, we are missing family and friends and normal life, and lots of us just really want a hug.

    So the boys and I decided we wanted to make some hugs to take to their grandparents, I shared some pics on instagram and had lots of people say they wanted ot make some too, so I thought it would be good to pop a little blog up with how we did it. 

  3. Toilet Tube Tropical Bird Craft Time

    Posted on

    So I am always collecting toilet roll tubes, they are so good for craft projects I always have a big box of them just ready for when inspiration strikes. 

    Yep that means we often have lots of binoculars and telescopes created and left around the house, but they've also come in brilliantly to make Christmas trees, funky animals and now tropical birds....and I thought you might like to make some to.

    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….
