If you don’t want to be afraid of them, you need to understand them! Through discussion and games, children of all ages discover the secret life of these little reptiles, so often unloved. Whatever their size, their skeletons are just as fascinating as their impressive jaws. Directly linked to the cycle of the seasons, their discreet activity helps to maintain the high level of local biodiversity: by detailing one or other of the 10 local species, older children can ask questions about their diet, preferred biotopes or mode of reproduction, while younger children can finish the activity by making their own snake capable of undulating on the ground… which they’ll just have to paint when the clay dries.
