Who could be hiding behind each giant flap? Join an exciting trip to the zoo as children discover clues, make predictions and reveal a wonderful collection of animals hiding throughout the story.

Kirrily Koala encourages us to Be Present and Have an Awareness, slowing down to notice colours, patterns, shapes and special clues before lifting each flap to reveal the hidden animal.

Elky Elephant helps us Be Ready and Engage, asking questions, making thoughtful predictions and eagerly exploring each new zoo animal while building curiosity and confidence.

Pikkle Panda reminds us to Be Mindful and Thoughtful, taking turns to guess, listening to everyone's ideas and celebrating each exciting discovery together.

Through this playful zoo adventure, children discover that curiosity, careful observation and sharing ideas help us learn about the amazing animals around us—just like the Kind-e-play Friends.

Extend the learning...

Place different animal footprints throughout the learning environment.

Encourage children to become zoo detectives, following the tracks, noticing clues about the size, shape and direction of each footprint before discovering which zoo animal has been hiding nearby.

Invite children to explain what helped them make their prediction and create their own footprint trails for friends to follow.
