Year 5 Axolotl Art
Rufford School
Lancashire

Some of you may recall last year when I had an Axolotl Day in school.

Well, this year while visiting another school I was thrilled to be asked if there was an activity I would like to do with the children. We spent the first half of the morning looking at a slideshow of my own axolotl pictures (which I happened to have ready on a pen drive). This generated a great deal of discussion and we spent the remainder of the morning researching and constructing an Axolotl Fact File and Care Sheet.

We spent the afternoon doing a bit of art work.
Once again we looked at pictures but this time the discussion focussed on shape and colour. I think after looking at some of their work you will agree they had an inspired day.

Please be patient, there are 18 pictures in total to view.

Those are so great! You're lucky to have worked with the kids, I plan on doing that in the future to teach them about axies... Very cool.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
