The Perfect Way to Teach About Animals and Their Babies

With their boundless curiosity and eagerness to learn, preschoolers are at the perfect age to explore the wonders of the animal kingdom. What better way to delight their young minds than by teaching them all about amazing animal families?

This year, we invite you to teach your students about the incredible animal families in the animal kingdom with new Teach Starter animal printables!

Play a Game to Discover Animal Families!

Make learning about animal families an engaging and interactive experience with our Printable Animals and their Babies Memory Game. This activity combines education with play, providing a visually appealing and enjoyable way for preschoolers to learn about different animals and their adorable offspring.

How to Play the Animal Babies Game for Preschoolers

  1. Shuffle the deck of cards.
  2. Place the cards face down in rows so the images and words are not seen.
  3. Each player is given one turn to flip over two cards.
  4. If the two cards show an animal and its young, the player can keep both cards and is awarded two points.
