Print on card stock and laminate for longer use. After cutting cards, draw with 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 vertebrates. 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 animal cards when printed twice and draw the animals they like the most using their choice of art medium.

Older children might be inspired to research and create their own books about mammals and birds that they commonly encounter during the fall season.

When exploring vertebrates with your children you might like to give some of these hands-on activities a go:

  1. Make a skeleton using playdough to point out the difference between the two types of animal groups.
  2. Gather binoculars next time you go outdoors and invite the children to observe different types of birds in their natural habitat.
  3. Gather Safari TOOB figurines and invite the children to sort animals into two groups – mammals and birds.
  4. Explore the most commonly found mammals and birds found in your area – make a poster with your students.
  5. Discuss in a small group all the different ways children can protect animals in their natural habitat.
