Please note we have made the activity editable so that teachers and parents can edit to personal needs or accessibility requirements. Please be respectful and do not alter the content of the slides.

We have also put together a craft activity to mark the day with younger children. Whether for a school non-uniform day or some family fun, this fun kid-friendly craft is a great way to bring attention to the day and one of the most used animals in medical experiments – mice.
