Loads of fun kids' activities

Welcome to the Kid’s zone! Here you will find lots of fun activities all about beavers. You can build your own beaver, colour in your own beaver mask and have a go at being a beaver detective!

For the first time in 400 years, beavers are living in Scotland as part of an exciting wildlife project. A team of scientists will be closely watching the beavers to see how they settle into their new home, and to discover why they are tree felling champions!
