‘Wild Holiday Hub’ AND Live Sessions to help keep kids entertained these school holidays!

If you’re a parent based in NSW, there’s a good chance that you’re juggling lockdown in the rain, AND to top it off, it’s the school holidays. Pulling your hair out? Fear not, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo are here to help! Launching on Wednesday 30th June, the Wild Holiday Hub is the ultimate online destination for parents looking for fun and educational activities to keep the kids entertained during these winter school holidays.

The Wild Holiday Hub offers a range of activities that have been expertly curated by Merlin Entertainments’ Curatorial and Education teams to appeal to the following three age categories:

• Fishy and Fluffy Friends. Designed for pre-schoolers, this contains colouring-in activity sheets and video links to story time at the Zoo.
• Junior Keepers. Designed for junior primary school kids, this contains information sheets on popular animals including sharks and penguins, word search games, dot-to-dots, and fun plus simple educations sheets to support their learning and development in a fun and engaging way.
• Creature Questers. Designed for senior primary school kids, this contains craft videos – from how to recycle household items for art – to educational task sheets. There are also video links to Q&As with Keepers and everything little minds need to become a Junior Keeper!

All content on the Wild Holiday Hub is created with inquisitive little brains in mind and is downloadable from this link here: https://www.visitsealife.com/sydney/whats-inside/wild-holiday-hub/
