For educators
Bring Pip’s waterways into your classroom
Story-led resources that help early childhood and primary learners explore Australian freshwater habitats, build curiosity and grow respect for the creeks and rivers near them.
Step by step
Explore a freshwater habitat together
Follow these simple steps to guide young learners through a local creek or river, one small discovery at a time.
1. Look closely
Walk to a safe creek edge with children and watch quietly for ripples, moving lillies or tracks in the mud.
2. Notice the homes
Talk about the plants, rocks and water that give freshwater animals food, shelter and a safe place to live.
3. Give wildlife room
Remind children that wild animals stay wild. We observe from a distance and leave every creature undisturbed.
After each visit, invite children to draw what they noticed and share one way they can protect their local waterway.
