Neeka and the Storm - Workshop with Tina Strachan
Advertisement
Join us for a workshop in celebration of book 2 in the Wilder Zoo series, Neeka and the Storm! Tina Strachan will guide kids through a Wilder Zoo Crew workshop, where the kids will get to colour in their own Wilder Zoo name badges, help perform a ‘vet exam’ on a ‘rescued’ animal, and learn who eats what food (and who does what poo!). Tina will then test their zookeeper abilities with wildlife themed trivia, bingo and an animal sounds game, and finish off with a little craft activity. All participants will go home with a certificate to say they graduated as a Wilder Zoo Crew member!
