Art & Craft Activities

David Shepherd, our founder, knew art was a wonderful way to help everyone understand the need for wildlife conservation. If you want to get arty and express your love of wildlife, our animal colouring sheets and other art and craft activities are the perfect way. You’ll find a great choice to download just below.

Our activities have been created and curated by professional wildlife artists and educators.

So, if you want to make a pangolin, draw a painted dog, or create a creature, all you’ll need to do is download the instructions and get started. Some of the activities include short films to help explain what you need to do. And none require specialist equipment!

We love seeing what you’ve created – so please share your pics and finished work with us, and we’ll put the best on display right here on the website.

Just tell us your name and age, and make sure you don’t have your face in the picture. Send your pics as a .jpeg to education@davidshepherd.org.  

Your support is vital in enabling us to continue our work, including providing these great activities. If you’d like to see more, even the smallest donation can make a big difference – so please consider giving anything you can.
