Join us for our online donkey-tastic activities this Easter!

It’s been a whole year since we started sharing our Young Reds At Home Academy activities in lieu of being able to host our school holiday activities at our visitor centres.

At Easter, we like to celebrate all things donkey – so we’re bringing plenty of long-eared Easter-themed activities for the kids right to your living room.

Can you tell the difference between a donkey and a mule?! What about a horse?! Have a go at the “A-mule-zing Differences (PDF 618 KB)” game and put your knowledge to the test. Next, figure out the clues in our “Cracking Name (PDF 840 KB)” game to help name some of our spring-themed residents!

Meet our long-eared Adoption Stars in our “Donkey Wordsearch (PDF 105 KB)”, then find out more about them on our website here. Redwings’ mascot Wings has got a little lost and needs to be guided through the maze and back to his friends in the donkey barn in the “Wings is Lost (PDF 323 KB)” game.

For those who like to get crafty, why not have a go at making your own “Red” and “Wings” mascots. You can find your template here (PDF 210 KB).

Head to our “We Love Donkeys” YouTube playlist to meet some of our donkey residents, and you might even find out some extra fun facts too!

You’ll find a full list of the activities here (PDF 71 KB), you can keep a record of the kids' activities here (PDF 215 KB), and once finished, download their “We Love Donkeys” Easter certificate here (PDF 91 KB).

While you’re currently unable to visit the Sanctuary, make sure to keep an eye on our social media channels, where we’ll be sharing some of our visitor centres' favourite long-eared residents. You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
