3. Battesea Park Children’s Zoo - for the bird lovers (19th Feb)

This fun activity is all about encouraging birds to come and feed in your garden. Children will be able to build their very own bird feeder, getting messy using lots of seeds and nuts, yogurt pots and string to create a yummy treat for our feathered friends. They’ll also be a bird spotting challenge before being able to see Muckle the barn owl being fed.  

4. Children’s Pizza Making Club at MOTHER, Circus West Village, Feb 19th - 21st

This half term, Mother will host a series of afternoons for children who not only love eating pizza but also want to learn the secrets of making their favourite food!  One of Mother's pizza chefs will teach the youngsters how to make their own pizza, and they will see it being cooked right before their eyes in the wood-fired oven. Once it’s ready there's not much left, but to tuck in and rate their skills.
