Description
Have your 3-7 year old learn all about pets and lovable animals with this activity pack for your pet thematic unit study. It’s a hands-on printable pack that requires cutting out shapes and pictures in order to make interactive and meaningful learning experiences.
Activity packs are customizable based on age and ability to both extend the activity or make it more manageable for younger children. For instance, the “Give a dog a bone” letter matching activity is appropriate for preschoolers learning letters by leaving the matching letters together and pairing the dog (sound) with the bone. However, variations include multiple parts and even consonant blends for older or more advanced children.
