What the child does

Animals Of The World in a child's hands

An essential classroom resource, this Animals of the World material brings children face-⁠to-⁠face with animal classification across continents through beautifully illustrated cards and a wooden storage system. The set includes continent cards, animal outline drawings, descriptive text cards, and a spiral-bound reference booklet, which lets children explore global biodiversity while developing geography and classification skills.

Geography Awareness

Children develop understanding of continents and global distribution of animals through hands-⁠on classification.

Classification Skills

Matching animal outlines to continents builds logical thinking and scientific classification abilities.

Reading Preparation

Text cards introduce vocabulary and descriptive language about animals and their habitats.

Fine Motor Development

Handling cards and organizing materials refines pincer grip and hand-⁠eye coordination.

Activity Guide

How to present it

Place the wooden storage system on a mat with continent cards visible. Arrange animal cards face-⁠down in a basket, keeping outline drawings and text cards in separate containers nearby.

  1. 1Introduce one continent card and select 3-⁠5 familiar animals from that region
  2. 2Match each animal card to its outline drawing, discussing distinctive features
  3. 3Read corresponding text cards together, placing them below matched pairs
  4. 4Sort animals into their continent section in the wooden storage system
  5. 5Use the reference booklet to verify placements and explore additional facts
3 tips for parents
  • Visit zoos or nature documentaries to see featured animals in motion
  • Create a world map at home marking animals you've learned about together
  • Encourage storytelling about animals from different continents during bedtime
