Activities

1. Draw Your Favorite Animal: Use your crayons and paper to draw your favorite animal. Think about where it lives and what it eats.

2. Animal Sound Guessing Game: Make animal sounds and have someone guess which animal you are pretending to be. Then take turns guessing each other's animal sounds.

Talking Points

• Animals come in all shapes and sizes. Some are big like elephants, and some are small like ladybugs. Remember, each one is special in its own way.
• Animals have homes called habitats. Just like we have our houses, animals have places where they live, find food, and stay safe.
• Animals make different sounds to communicate. Can you roar like a lion or buzz like a bee? It's fun to pretend to be different animals!
• Some animals like to live in the water, some in the trees, and some in burrows underground. Each animal's home is perfect for its needs.
• Remember, animals are our friends. We should always treat them with kindness and respect, just like we treat our friends.
