Before you commence this activity with your child ask questions such as:
What is a habitat?
Which animals live in a habitat?
What types of different habitats do you know of?
Please record student responses.
For this activity you will need 4 pieces of large A4 sheet of paper.
Choose 4 different A4 size pieces of cardboard preferably different colours to distinguish different habitats. Glue or sticky tape them together as shown in the illustration.
I have different habitats listed here. You may choose and research any of these.
–Deserts
-Forests
-Grasslands
-Islands
-Mountains
-Oceans
-wetlands
The clip below shows and tells us what a habitat is…. Please choose 4 of these and draw and create your very own habitat as shown above.
At the end of the session have a discussion with your child to find out their understanding. Ask them,,,, what they now know about a habitat?
Which animals live in what habitat?
What are your favourite habitats?
