Guess the Wild Animal quiz

Over the years, wildlife legend Sir David Attenborough has been up close to some of the most amazing creatures in the animal kingdom - but can you guess what they are in this picture quiz?

This wildlife quiz is for young children aged 3-6 years old with a love of animals or an interest in looking after the planet. 

The quiz will test your child on their knowledge of animals and introduce them to the natural historian, Sir David Attenborough.

Play along with your child

Look at the images of Sir David Attenborough with obscured animals and decide together which animal could be hiding.

Recognising animal outlines and shapes can be tricky, but the multiple choice options will help your little one figure out the right answer. You can explore shapes, colours and mimic the noises the animal makes. This will help your child build key communication skills, enhance their cognitive development and let them take the lead.
