From the smallest insect to the biggest animal, nature is full of amazing things to explore!
Wild Wonders invites pupils to choose something from the natural world that captures their imagination and bring it to life through drawing.
They could draw an animal they've seen in their garden, a creature from the depths of the ocean, a colourful jungle scene, or an entire habitat filled with wildlife.
Whether their pictures are inspired by real-life observations, classroom learning, or their own creative ideas, pupils are free to make their artwork their own.
There's no single right way to explore nature. Let their imaginations lead the way!
Give pupils a starting point with these nature-inspired ideas, or let them explore something completely different!
Butterflies, beetles, bees, worms, and all the tiny creatures hiding in our gardens.
From playful monkeys and jungle giants to woodland creatures and animals from around the world.
Colourful fish, curious crabs, sea turtles and amazing underwater habitats.
Trees, flowers, birds, changing seasons and the wildlife we see every day.
Explore rainforests, oceans, woodlands, ponds and the places animals call home.
From caterpillars becoming butterflies to seeds growing into flowers, discover how living things change.
These are just ideas to get started. Pupils can draw anything inspired by nature, from a single tiny creature to a whole world of wildlife.
Wild Wonders is simple to introduce and easy to adapt to your class. Use it alongside your current nature, science or seasonal topics, or enjoy it as a standalone creative activity.
Explore animals, minibeasts, habitats or other wonders of the natural world.
Let pupils create their nature-inspired pictures using the free entry sheets.
If you wish, encourage pupils to label their drawings, use expanded noun phrases or add a short description.
It's an inclusive activity that gives pupils the freedom to express their ideas through art, with opportunities to develop observation, vocabulary and communication skills along the way.
We've made it easy to bring Wild Wonders into your classroom, with FREE, ready-to-use materials to help pupils get started.
