Children have the virtue of innocence. Their minds are pure and educating them on good values ​​is worth all the effort. Parents are the best teachers. When a child graduates from preschool to a routine academic schedule, her core values ​​come to the fore. It is very easy to relate to the home environment, when a child articulates about certain topics. It is the duty of parents to teach children about plants and animals.

From a very early age, children are drawn to animals. This is seen more in cartoons and caricatures that resemble animal species. Be sure to buy pictures of animals before teaching numbers or the alphabet. Children love colors and are drawn to shapes. Children marvel at the shape and physical attributes of animals. Mimicry is another talent that children are inclined to. If we notice, there are so many nursery rhymes and songs that involve animals.

As you walk down the sidewalk, let the child watch the walking dog. If it is a routine activity, it will be natural for the child to be attracted to the dog. Let her hold the leash and touch her ears. A good wash at home and the child is germ free. If you have pets at home, let the child learn to give. Take the help of your toddler to organize a kennel and Sundays can be cleaning days. Let him shampoo the dog and towel dry him. These are steps towards bonding.

Liven up the study moments, establishing a biweekly schedule to teach a new animal and its characteristics. Let them know the types of dogs and the species in the cat family. Dinosaurs are a very interesting animal subject and you will be amazed at the knowledge you gain while teaching the child about extinct species. Teach the child that the pig is ‘my’ and the horse is ‘neighbor’. Let them know that the mammoth existed in ancient times.

Kids love audio effects. Make cow ‘moo’ sounds and ‘purr’ like a cat. Teach them the animals’ favorite foods and also the animals’ homes. Teach them about the cute puppies and that a kangaroo has a pouch to store the ‘Joey’. It would be good to tell the child about reptiles, mammals, aquatic and terrestrial animals.

You will be surprised when the child is able to point to a Komodo dragon or an Armadillo and express that the fawn is the young of a deer. Tell them to care about animals, and as their level increases, give them the facts about wildlife conservation and the effects of global warming. Children are blessed with great gripping power and many times the older ones have to upgrade their knowledge levels.
