Welcome to the official blog of Wild about Wildlife—a unique children’s activity booklet that celebrates the rich tapestry of Australian wildlife! Whether you’re a parent, educator, retailer, or wildlife enthusiast, our mission is to inspire curiosity, learning, and conservation through fun, interactive activities.


In this first blog post, I'm excited to share my story, the inspiration behind the booklet, and how it can become a cherished part of your educational and entertainment toolkit.


Wild about Wildlife Story and Inspiration

Australia is home to some of the world’s most fascinating animals—from cuddly koalas and boisterous kangaroos to the mysterious platypus. Growing up, many of us were captivated by the natural beauty and unique character of our native wildlife. Yet, for many children today, these enchanting creatures remain distant memories or images in books and documentaries.

Wild about Wildlife was born from the desire to bridge that gap. I wanted to create a resource that not only educates children about Australian wildlife but also engages them in hands-on activities that bring learning to life. Every page of this booklet is designed to spark imagination, encourage problem-solving, and instill a sense of stewardship for the natural world.


The Educational Power of Play

Learning Through Interaction

Research shows that children learn best when they are having fun and are actively engaged. That’s why Wild about Wildlife is packed with puzzles, colouring pages, quizzes, and fun facts that challenge young minds. Instead of passively absorbing information, kids get to interact with the material—drawing their favourite animals, and discovering little-known facts about how these creatures live and thrive in the wild.


Conservation Starts Early

By introducing children to the wonders of wildlife at an early age, we’re nurturing future conservationists. This early exposure builds a foundation of respect and responsibility for nature—an essential step in preserving our natural heritage.

What Makes Wild about Wildlife Unique?

Authentic Aussie Stories

Every activity in our booklet is inspired by real stories from our diverse landscape. As a wildlife rehabilitator I've consulted educators, and conservation experts to ensure that each fact is not only accurate but also engaging.


Hands-On, Kid-Friendly Design

The design of Wild about Wildlife is tailored for little hands and curious minds. With vibrant illustrations and easy-to-follow instructions, children are encouraged to explore the booklet at their own pace. Whether it’s tracing the path of a wandering kangaroo or piecing together the puzzle of a koala’s habitat, every activity is a step towards greater knowledge and appreciation of Australia’s natural world.


A Tool for Every Audience

While Wild about Wildlife is crafted with children in mind, its benefits extend far beyond the classroom or playroom. Here’s how different groups can make the most of our booklet:


  • Retailers & Wholesalers: Offer a product that resonates with local pride and educational value, driving repeat business and positive word-of-mouth.

  • Educators & Childcare Providers: Enhance curriculum with engaging activities that complement lesson plans on nature and conservation.

  • Wildlife Enthusiasts & Rehabilitators: Use the booklet as a platform to share real-world stories and inspire community engagement in wildlife conservation.

  • Parents & Grandparents: Enjoy quality time with your children and grandchildren while learning about Australia’s unique wildlife together.
