- There sure are a lot of K’s when it comes to Australian animal names! Put them into your own hidden picture search or word hunt!
- Now you can go on a safari without ever leaving your house!
- Drawings and simple research lessons are the perfect distance from which to discover a lot of Australian animals, because…well, they can be pretty dangerous!
- Australia is home to more types of deadly snakes than any other continent. Even koalas and kangaroos are not as friendly as they might look.
- But that doesn’t mean Australia is anything to be scared of! Australia is home to a bunch of interesting places like its gorgeous natural landscapes and even some delicious foods too.
- Don’t just leave it at drawing animals, be sure to explore some of these aspects of Australia as well!
- A large portion of Australia might be covered in desert but don’t forget about the awesome marine life that surrounds it! A visit to the Great Barrier Reef (even in your imagination) will introduce to more types of fish, coral, whales, and dolphins than almost any other place on earth.
- You might not be able to go scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef but you can turn your own room into a small version of it. Use streamers to make kelp, balloons to make coral formations, and a blue filter to change the light. Add a few drawings of humpback whales, barracudas, and other underwater creatures for added affect!
