Month 12 · Activity 22 ·   Nature/Science  

Instructions

  • Select all the animals that child has seen in person 
  • Find an animal that is smaller than the child
  • Find an animal that is larger than the child
  • Put all the animals into alphabetical order (find an animal that begins with A, etc.) and place back into the binder

Simplify

Instead of using all of the alphabet animals, select only five pictures that will fit the questions and ask child to locate the correct animal.  For example, make sure you use the animal for letter M and G, have an animal that lives on a farm, an animal with four legs, etc.
