These engaging animals will be a great springboard to learning more about life in the wild, what animals are in your own environment and how the children might better care for them.
Encourage your children to think about what type of habitat they would build for each animal: a nest for a bird, a river for a fish, etc. Your children will find great pleasure in creating a character for each creature, making this set ideal for storytelling activities, and block play!
