FOR ALL AGES
At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
They might technically be classed as a pest but here at Kidadl, we love cute little rodents.
There are lots of amazing qualities about rats that many people may not know. They're really social animals, they can swim and African giant pouched rats can even sniff out landmines!
There are so many different species, from the average brown rat to the huge coypu. Like deer, male rats are called bucks and single female rats are called does. And a group of rats is called a mischief, that does make sense!
So whether you fancy testing your skill by making an origami mouse or making a birthday extra special with an amazing Minnie Mouse celebration cake, we have lots of great activities inspired by our fuzzy friends. And why not throw in some humor too, with this brilliant collection of rat puns.
