I absolutely love this idea on so many levels! Teaching children about the value of habitats and the impact of changing the habitats is wonderful. {Ecology is probably the science topic I’m most passionate about.}

I just wrote a post about searching for animal homes outside to go along with another Eric Carle book – My Very First Book of Animal Homes. Your activity would go perfectly with that book as well. I’m adding it to my Animal Homes board on Pinterest.

Great idea! Will have to try this with our youngest!

We have about a million (okay, maybe closer to 100 or so, but still…) of those little animals that come in the tubes. Anyway, it was getting to the point where there were too many to play with at once and a pain to figure out what ones we wanted, so I took my sons to the fabric store where we picked up a fabric that matched each animal habitat (jungle, deciduous forest, ocean, Arctic, etc). When we got home, I made some quick drawstring bags. Now, the boys can find what they want and pick-up time is a sorting activity by animal habitat.

I love this idea so much! What a great, fun learning idea! Can you tell me where you got those adorable little animals you used? I would love to find some like that.

Just discovered your blog through pinterest and will be referring back to it many times I know. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful posts! I’m always looking for fun activities to help my children learn without them actually feeling like they’re learning!
