Characteristics Printables

After reading books about the animal / plant, children can be invited to
name its characteristics as they place picture cards onto a designated
mat. This hands-on activity encourages engagement and reinforces their
understanding of the animal's /plant’s traits.

We offer four blackline follow-up printouts that are available for use. These
printouts can be cut and assembled into a booklet for convenience.
Younger children are encouraged to get creative by coloring the pages or
drawing the characteristics. Emergent writers can use lined booklet printout
sheets to document their observations by answering guided questions
related to the traits. This activity will help build their writing skills and deepen
their comprehension.

After completing their individual tasks, children may be interested in

presenting a small group report about their findings. This collaborative effort
allows them to share their insights and learn from their peers while
developing their speaking and listening skills.
Sorting Cards
After cutting out the sorting cards, use a marker or adhesive dot
stickers to color the back of each set—assigning a different color to
each set. Lay the label cards in a row for reference.

Begin by explaining the difference between food sources and

predators. Then, invite the child to sort the cards into two distinct
categories based on this understanding. After the child has
completed the sorting task, encourage them to flip over the cards
and self-check their placements. Each card should be correctly
categorized according to the dot color, allowing for independent
assessment of ther understanding.

This sorting activity promotes critical thinking and reinforces

knowledge about the ecosystem, helping children to grasp the
relationships between different animals and their roles in the food
chain.
