Instructions
There are many free origami instructions on the internet so pick 3-5 different animals you would like them to learn about. We choose Whale, Koala, Penguin, Elephant & Duck! We sent them the instructions 1 a week during 2020 lockdown and asked them to find out a few facts about each one and to keep them safe.
Fold and make the animals as the guidelines show.
For the 'Zoo'
Cut the cereal box in half lengthways and open it out in landscape
Get the children to draw a different habitat for each animal type
Glue the individual animal into each habitat
