Lesson
A good diet for rabbits
Discuss what makes a good diet to keep rabbits healthy and happy. Together, we can create a world where rabbits have the correct diet to prevent health problems. Spoiler: Carrots are not on the menu!
Activity
A safe space for dogs
Does your dog have a safe space around the house? Make one so your dog can rest undisturbed and in comfort. It can be simple or more elaborate, if you prefer and space allows.
Activity
Bake cat treats
Use our quick and simple recipe to make delicious biscuits for cats, then play ‘find the treats’ so they can use their senses to search for them.
Activity
Bake dog treats
We enjoy treating our dogs, so let’s make sure treats are both tasty and healthy. Use our quick and simple recipe to reward dogs.
Activity
Bee drinking stations
Let's make a difference for our fuzzy friends! By setting up a refreshing drinking station, we can provide constant access to fresh water for bees and other wildlife.
Activity
Build a woodland shelter
Create a sense of safety for animals while getting into nature with this woodland activity.
Lesson
Comfort and rest for dogs
Discuss how to help dogs be healthy and happy by creating a calm, safe and comfortable space for them. A safe environment helps prevent harm, whether we're out for a walk or staying at home.
Activity
Egg code research
Do people know what the numbers mean on eggs? Carry out a research project to find out and share what you learn.
Activity
Feed hedgehogs
Help hedgehogs boost their energy in spring and build fat reserves in autumn. You might also be able to see them while they eat and drink.
Activity
Feed waterfowl
Who doesn't love feeding the birds? But please leave the bread at home - it's not very healthy for them. Follow the activity below to make sure waterfowl get a nutritious snack when you're feeding them.
Activity
Go bird watching
Develop skills and learn about the natural world with a spot of bird watching. Compare different birds each season and make notes of their behaviours and habitats.
Activity
Growing tasty herbs
Variety and flavour can make an animal's diet more enjoyable. Check if your pet can eat herbs, or see if a local animal rescue centre would appreciate a donation of cuttings for animals in their care.
Activity
Let dogs sniff
Taking your dog for a walk is more than exercise. It's an opportunity for dogs to make use of their noses! If they want to stop, let them sniff the roses (probably other dog's wee, which is even better).
Lesson
Litter free home for swans
Discuss the importance of keeping our planet tidy and how this will keep wild animals safe and healthy. In doing so, we can help future generations understand their role in creating a healthy world.
Activity
Make a hedgehog highway
Create tunnels to help hedgehogs travel freely. Could you even make a whole neighbourhood network?
Activity
Make seeded apples for birds
Help birds eat healthily all year round with this fun activity.
Activity
Picking litter to keep wildlife safe
Clean up your local area today. It will help create a safer and healthier world for animals on land and in the water. So put on your high vis, put on some gloves and take action against litter.
Lesson
Pig behaviour on the farm
Discuss pig behaviour and the importance of positive experiences to ensure pigs are healthy and happy. In doing so, we can educate future generations about the importance of higher welfare farms.
Activity
Plant trees for chickens
We hear about the benefits of planting trees for the environment and wildlife, but they're also great for chickens! Trees will give chickens shelter and help them feel safe in their surroundings.
Activity
Play time with cats
A good cat game means they can express natural behaviour by pouncing and catching unpredictable toys. Have fun and keep safe (both of you!). Don't have a cat? We might have a solution!
Activity
Thank a farmer
We encourage you to learn more about the role of farmers in animal welfare and the wider environment. Find a local famer and send them a thank you message (we will also share your messages with our RSPCA assured farmers!).
Activity
What do you wish for animals?
Let us know what you would change for animals to be healthier and happier. It could be a topic you are currently learning about or a new idea!
