Continuing our safari theme, one of our after school mat activities was this quick and easy to set up habitat matching game. To be honest T found this a bit too easy and I think it would have been better maybe a year ago, he still had lots of fun and enjoyed doing it. We talked about the animals and where they actually sleep eg lions sleep in dens, birds live in nests etc
First I did a quick search on Google images, I used safari habitats but obviously this could be adapted for any. I printed the Masai Mara, an acacia tree & a lake.
I then rounded up a selection of T's safari animals and set it all out for him.
This month we are studying all things safari , our other safari posts can be found here and you can follow our pinterest board here for more safari ideas from other people.
Thats a great idea. Now my 21 month old is getting more inquisitive this would be a good one to do with her. Thanks for sharing #toddlerapprovedtuesday
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely idea and if you don't have safari animals you could always print them off too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolutely brilliant idea. You're little one is going to be so bright. I love the idea of these matching & sorting activities. It's so wonderful that you go into so much detail as well. :-D xx
