Print on card stock and laminate for longer use. After cutting cards, draw with a marker or stick dot stickers to the back of each set – one color for each set. Place the label cards in a row. Explain the difference between the two types of living things. Invite the child to sort cards into two categories.

After the child completed the task, invite him or her to flip the cards and self-check. Each card has to be under the correct category based on the dot color.

Young children can be encouraged to match the cards when printed twice and draw the insects and flowers they like the most using their choice of art medium.

  2. Gather binoculars next time you go outdoors and invite the children to observe different types of flowers and crawling creatures.
