Engage your little wildlife lovers in fun filled hands on activities exploring the wondrous world of animals. 

Bio Buddies is a term-based program which will:

• encourage children to make discoveries about the plants and animals at Perth Zoo
• provide immersive and engaging experiences to foster curiosity, creativity and critical thinking skills. 

Children will learn and grow together participating in activities across 8 weeks, exploring biodiversity developing love for nature and lifelong conservation values.

As part of the Bio Buddies journey, your child will be using a journal, to record their observations and ideas.  At the end of each session, a take-home activity will be provided as a bonus (non-compulsory) task. This allows exploration and nature connection to habitats and wildlife at home and local areas.  
 

Important Information

• The program has been developed for 4 to 5 year olds.
• Each term we will explore a new topic and different animals. 
• All activities will be skill based, hands-on, interactive and fun!
