Series 282: In the Wild
This series, In the Wild, recognises that young children are curious investigators, who learn about the world around them as they play, discover and explore. In the Wild encourages a spirit of adventure as young children and their families are invited to share in a series of exciting escapades with the Play School toys and presenters. We explore wild places and spaces, discover wild animals and rare plants and play with the wild possibilities of imaginary worlds. Come and join us as we have a wild time singing wild songs, dancing to wild rhythms, painting wild paintings and dressing up in wild clothes!

IDEAS FOR LATER
Put some plastic African animals in a sand pit or tray. Add a dish for water. Use a watering can to send down the rain. Take your animals down to the waterhole for a drink.
Take a walk and see if you can see some stripes. You might see zebra stripes on a pedestrian crossing.
Play some drum beats on some upturned buckets or saucepans.
