Looking for fun family nature activities to try at home?

Get creative wherever you are with a variety of activities designed to inspire the whole family.

Try out some of our special family activities and get to know the wildlife on your doorstep. Spy on your wildlife neighbours, encourage mini-beasts into your garden, and develop the eyes of an owl and the ears of a deer.

Show your family and friends what you’ve seen, heard or made – and don’t forget to share them with us too! To share your pictures, post them on CAT’s facebook page or tag @centreforalternativetechnology on instagram. #CATatHome
