What to do with this activity?

Have you been to the zoo recently? Find out about Dublin Zoo here and Fota Wildlife Park in Cork here. Or there are Open Farms and other child friendly places all over Ireland that you might be able to visit. Here's a list from Fundays.

If you can't get to the zoo anytime soon, get to know the animals for when you might go. Have a look at Dublin Zoo's animal guide, and check out the cute baby animals that have been born in Fota Wildlife Park here.

Try out the Elephant, TigerOrangutan or Red Panda online jigsaw puzzles from Dublin Zoo. Set the level that suits your child. 

 

  • Why am I doing this?

    Pretend games help your child to develop their language skills and practise things they have seen and heard. Games and activities that build concentration and thinking skills are great for your child. They build skills such as being able to see patterns, being able to group things together and using numbers. Being able to join in games and working with you or other people on a project, is a life skill used every day and a way many people learn.
