Animal Classification with Stuffed Animals

 Kids love their stuffed animals.

As a FUN way for children to be introduced to Animal Classification,
(grouping based on common physical characteristics), have them categorize (group) their stuffed animals into Classes:

  • mammals
  • reptiles 
  • amphibians
  • birds
  • insects
  • arachnids
  • mollusks
  • crustaceans
  • etc

Make SIGNS for each class of animals and give each group of animals a specific area of the room for display.  Children may also sketch their own animal pictures and then add their art work and lots of animal picture books to each display.
