Open-ended Animal Small World Activity

Encourage children to create their own small worlds! Will they make a farm? African jungle? Desert oasis? This activity is a great way to engage children’s creativity while they finesse their fine motor and communication skills 🐘🍃


Using different animals, materials, natural resources and reusable products create endless opportunities for play and creativity. Engage children in conversations about their decisions, why did they choose that habitat for that animal? 🧐

Help them further develop their understanding of animal names, temperaments and natural habitats 🌳
