KG Homeschool Lesson Animals and Habitats

Here's a week's amount of activities for Animals and Habitats KG Homeschool Lessons:

Morning Basket: Share pictures or toys of animals. Wonder and talk about some of them.

You can start by gathering a variety of pictures of different animals. You can use books, magazines, or print out images from the internet. Sit down with your kindergartener and spread out the pictures in front of both of you. Take turns picking up a picture and asking questions like "What kind of animal is this?" or "Where do you think this animal lives?" Encourage your kindergartener to observe the details in the picture and share their thoughts and ideas. This activity helps develop their observation skills, critical thinking, and curiosity about the natural world.

Here are some animal flashcards you can use for your Morning Basket or any other additional activity you want to do with your little ones.
