My somewhat timid daughter, Mina, is really into the world of bears, sharks, tigers and whales lately. As a result, i've been reading a lot about these topics. Sometimes i wonder if i ever learned this stuff. Or, have i just replaced that knowledge with something more 'daily'. Perhaps i skipped sharks and went straight to the Laura Ingalls Wilder...
I've always loved science and the natural world. So this stage is rather fun. Did you know that you can tell a whale by its spout?
Yesterday we went to a "Call of the Wild" nature talk through the city's recreation department. It was lead by a passionate naturalist who had a great way of talking with her hands, and who had a great selection of educational games for young children. As a result of this talk, today we talked a lot about animals and their use of the five senses.
So test your animal knowledge, try the quiz polar bear here. Having watched the Planet Earth series gives you a little leg up...
