Animals Of The Seven Continents in a child's hands
Animals of the seven continents, with a real photograph of each animal to sort onto the continent it belongs to. Photographs matter here more than in most card sets: a drawing of a tiger tells a child what someone thinks a tiger looks like, a photograph tells them what one is. Sorting by continent then attaches every animal to a place on the map they have already handled. Durable plastic, pre cut with rounded corners. In English.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many animal cards are included for each continent?
This set typically includes 5-8 representative animals from each of the seven continents, totaling approximately 35-56 cards depending on the specific edition. Each continent features animals that naturally inhabit that region, helping children understand geographical distribution of wildlife.
Are the Spanish labels removable or printed directly on the cards?
The Spanish animal names are printed directly on the laminated cards below each photograph. This integrated design ensures durability and prevents labels from being lost, while providing consistent exposure to Spanish vocabulary during geography and zoology lessons.
What size are these animal flash cards?
The cards are typically sized at 14cm x 14cm (approximately 5.5 inches square), which is ideal for young children to handle independently. The laminated finish adds durability while maintaining a comfortable thickness for sorting and matching activities.
Can these cards be used without Spanish language instruction?
Yes, these cards serve multiple purposes beyond Spanish language learning. They can be used for continent sorting activities, animal classification work, habitat discussions, and general zoology studies. Teachers can simply focus on the images while introducing Spanish vocabulary gradually or not at all.
What types of animals are featured for each continent?
Each continent includes a diverse selection of native animals - for example: Africa might feature lions, elephants, and giraffes; Australia could include kangaroos, koalas, and platypuses; Antarctica would show penguins and seals. The selection represents various habitats and helps children understand biodiversity across different geographical regions.
