Garden mini-beast safari

Explore one small outdoor patch slowly, notice tiny creatures without disturbing them and record three discoveries.

What to do

    A grown-up chooses one safe patch and agrees where the safari begins and ends.

  2. 2

    Look beside leaves, along a fence and near the soil before moving anything.

  3. 3

    Watch one creature for twenty seconds and notice how it moves.

  4. 4

    Draw or describe three discoveries without needing to name the species.

  5. 5

    Leave every creature and hiding place as close as possible to how it was found.
