• They gained an understanding of the role of zoos in education and research.
• The child learned about the different habitats and environments animals come from.

For continued development related to the zoo trip, encourage the child to create their own mini zoo at home using stuffed animals or drawing pictures of different animals. They can also research more about their favorite animal from the zoo and create a poster with interesting facts and pictures. Additionally, they can write a short story about a day in the life of an animal at the zoo.
