Activity: Animal Habitats
Materials Needed:
Sand table or sandbox
Regular dry/wet sand or moldable sand
Sand tools
Toy landscape items, such as trees, rocks, sticks, etc.
Let’s Get Started:
1. Allow the children to create a habitat for whatever animal is being discussed that week (day). This is a great activity to do with a partner or as a small group.
2. After talking about the animal's habitat, encourage the children to make one in the sand that would be appropriate for the animal.
3. Provide toy landscape items and any materials appropriate for creating the habitat. Some locations may be easier to build if the sand is wet or moldable.
