ADAPT Kids Activity Books
Part of the work we do at ADAPT Loddon Mallee is creating accessible and inclusive resources where people can learn about climate change in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming.
Often climate change resources are nationally or globally based, which can leave people powerless to take action. This book was created to support primary aged children to learn about the impacts of climate change in their local areas. By keeping the story local and providing activities and positive choices that children can make at home, they may feel more positive about what they can do to make a difference.
The book is filled with interactive puzzles and a story that follows Griffin the Growling Grass Frog on his mission to discover why the Loddon Mallee landscape is changing and his wetlands are drying up. He meets some friends along the way and learns more about climate change, renewable energy and the positive steps we all can make to reduce our footprint on the environment.
Free copies of the book are available to schools in the Loddon Mallee Region and are supported by a lesson planner to support teacher to use the resource in schools. If you would like to order copies of this book please register here.

ADAPT Loddon Mallee Kids Climate Change Activity Book
It is actually very heartwarming to see kids using the resource – kids are a great start because they take the books home and talk to their parents about it.

The ADAPT Loddon Mallee Kids Climate Change Activity Book provides easy to understand, constructive information about climate change. The activity books draw on local places and animals children can recognize while empowering them with actions they can take to make a difference.
