Tips

To enhance Leo's learning experience, I recommend exploring interactive resources such as documentaries or educational videos about mammal life cycles. Engaging in hands-on activities, like creating a life cycle poster or conducting simple experiments to observe animal growth, could also strengthen his understanding. Additionally, consider incorporating visitations to local zoos or nature centers to see these animals in different stages of their lives.
