My last sorting activity was pretty popular so I thought I would share another one with you! Animals are always a fun and easy concept to teach to preschoolers. It's important for them to start distinguishing that animals live in different places and have different characteristics. You can also use this activity to teach the animal sounds. This activity could also be a great describing activity. Instead of cutting the animals out beforehand, show your child the sheet with animals and describe what you're going to cut out next. See if they can guess what you're talking about! You can vary the difficulty level. For example, "I'm going to cut out the animal that says 'Moo'". Or you could make it more challenging and say, "This animal has a mane, a tail, and you can use a saddle to ride on it." You can also turn the tables and let your child try to describe an animal. Kids love being the teacher! After the animals are cut out you can do the same listening/describing activity again as you glue them onto the animals' home. Kids love repetition - don't shy away from it!
