The series ‘Fun Topics with the Weatherbies’ & ‘Storytime with the Weatherbies’ creates content for preschoolers, educating young children on the importance of climate awareness and how they can have a positive impact by changing their day-to-day behavior to help create a sustainable environment by using educational songs, animated videos and stories. The goal of the series is to deliver environmental educational facts in a fun and entertaining way and offer resources to support learning and teaching in primary schools.
