Explore the Wildlife - Free School Holiday Fun and An Animal Fun Prize Pack Giveaway #SLHFeaturedThursdays


It's school holidays time once again and it's time to entertain the kids. Thank goodness for free holiday events...

Beginning on the 23rd of March at Watergardens Town Centre, is an amazing free exhibition for families - a wonderful world of exotic wildlife exhibition!

  2. After going on a giraffe safari a couple of weeks ago my kids now love these animals, they are graceful but lanky and the fact that they all have different patterns , like a fingerprint.

  3. My son loves Lion because he thinks that lion is an "animal superhero" - it is strong, powerful and its roar has a great sound.

  4. Master 4 loves cows. I have no idea why but it is to the extent that if you drive past a field with sheep in it and you say "look at the sheep" all you get is "BUT I LOVE COWS" ...

  12. This is a great pack that would be a huge advantage for us. Most children learn visually and what better way to make education fun than make it actively involving. It has value far beyond monetary as is it an investment in growing knowledge.
