My son killed his sister’s goldfish so we turned his room into a jungle to teach him to care for animals

IT’S a jungle in there! Three-year-old Alfie Watkins’ bedroom has been transformed to teach him to care for animals — after he accidentally killed his sister’s goldfish.

Dad James, 45, and mum Samantha, 43, of, Rainham, Essex, spent £1,000 on the decor and stuffed toys to educate the lad after he tried to “squeeze” sister Faye’s pets.

Samantha told The Sun: “We wanted to make him aware of the fact animals have feelings too.

“He’s now much calmer.”

Now he falls asleep to the sounds of the rainforest with crickets chirping, amongst the dozens of different types of animals.

He has monkeys, lions, snakes, tigers, and creepy crawlies dotted around the room, and his mum has said Alfie loves his new furry friends.

His dad James, who works on The Lion King in the West End, built his bespoke bed with garden vines hanging over it and wallpapered his walls with jungle trees and branches.
