Animals are a fun way to learn about nature for any age, especially the youngest ones! Wildlife can be one of the more interesting and engaging parts of nature for young children, and some of our Nature Net members specialize in animals and wildlife conservation.

If your little ones love animals and you’re looking for more material to keep them busy learning and having fun, we at Nature Net have collected some things to share with you:
