During the school vacation, children can go to their local store and find out how to meet and interact with animals appropriately.
They will get acquainted with wild birds and how to take care of them during the winter months, plus they can enjoy free activities such as creating their own wild bird and assembling their own winter food mix to feed the birds in their garden.
At the end of the interactive workshop, the children will receive a certificate and sticker of my pets.
They will also have the chance to meet some of the pets.
