Poster 2 (210mmx300mm) Shows the water cycle but has some words marked in. The water cycle and other "key" words are left blank to be filled in. Underneath the poster the relevant words are listed.
Poster 3 (210mmx300mm) Shows the water cycle with all words marked in.
Poster 4 (300mmx425mm) Shows the water cycle with all words marked in. Twice the size of poster 3.

Hippos
The "Hippo" is a small (200mm x 250mm) blue plastic bag that is easily installed into your toilet cistern. Once installed you can save water each time you flush.
If your toilet was installed after 1993, it is probably already a low flush toilet and we would not recommend the use of a "Hippo".
