Rainforests are some of the most diverse, colourful and noisy places that you can find in nature.

Whether it’s a rainy day at home or something for a long journey, here are some activities to keep the kids busy, while learn about the weird and wonderful world of rainforest.

And if you’re missing your regular quiz nights, why not host a virtual one using Cool Earth’s ready-made quiz. Available to download here.
