Mini Critterz

Animal Education

Here at Critterz we believe in children gaining as much experience with animals whilst they are young. This teaches them the values of good animal care, along with them getting up close and personal with the more unusual pets.

We are looking into creating a racing board for bugs and beasties so the children can have races, we are also looking into creating feely boxes to put outside so we can put a variety of natural materials in them and get the children to experience different textures. In addition to this lisa has had vast experience of surveying bats and has some great recordings of bat sounds which children are fascinated by as it is not something people or children normally get to experience. We are very flexiable and always like to ask the children what they would like to do.
