• They learned about the concept of animal classification and how animals are grouped based on similarities.

For continued development, parents can encourage the child to create their own "zoo" at home using stuffed animals or toys. They can discuss the different habitats and characteristics of each animal, and even create signs or information cards to further explore the concept of animal classification.
