Instructions
Take a picture of each animal individually. Hide them indoors or outdoors. For younger children. limit the hiding area. Show the pictures of each animal one at a time to your child. Some children will be able to hold your phone while searching. For older children, show them the animals before you hide them, then describe the animal. Let them guess the animal and then show them the picture. To extend the activity, collect nature and use the shoe box to build a small habitat for the animals. Don’t forget the animals need water.
