Resources For Early Years

The Early Years Foundation Stage is an important time in a child's development and a great time to introduce topics about animal welfare. Young children often have a natural empathy towards animals and will engage with activities to start learning about the needs of animals and our role in helping them.

Our free Early Years resources are designed for childminders, pre-schools, nurseries, carers and parents who want to introduce young children to animal welfare topics.

Explore topics such as pets, wildlife, habitats and farm animals.

From quick activities to full lesson plans, download our free EYFS teaching resources to bring animal welfare to life in your classroom.
