Leaf Litter Critters

A fun, hands-on nature activity for kids and families inside the Bicentennial Conservatory.

After being inspired by the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, kids can get creative with nature at our Leaf Litter Critter station by designing their very own critter using real plant materials collected from the garden floor.

Here’s how it works:

• Pick your critter – Each table has a few fun designs to choose from. Find your favourite and take a seat!
• Start creating – Use the leaves, seeds and other natural treasures in the tubs to bring your critter to life. Think about colours, shapes and textures to make it unique!
• Frame it & snap it – Once your critter is complete, place one of our special frames over it and take a photo with your phone or camera.

• Share the fun – Post your masterpiece on social media using #AdelaideBotanicGarden and tag us:
