During the school holiday, children can go to their local store and discover how to meet and interact with animals appropriately.
They will learn about wild birds and how to care for them throughout the winter months plus they can enjoy free activities like creating their own wild bird and putting together their own winter food mix to feed the birds in their garden.
At the end of the interactive workshop, children will get a My Pet Pals certificate and sticker.
They will also have the chance to meet some of the pets in-store.
