We all agree that children grow by leaps and bounds. And at the same time, as a child grows, his desire to learn and study the world around him increases. Children, as a rule, are interested in absolutely everything that surrounds them, so questions are directed to parents, like "drops of rain during a downpour". One of the exciting "little things" of the topics is the living world of nature, namely one of the representatives of our fauna - the beast. So how to tell a child about animals so that this story is accessible and interesting for him? Let's try together to explain to the child about the wonderful world of animals.
Animals in the pictures - the first acquaintance of the kid with the animals
Before you tell the child about the animals orally, get help cards, which depict a variety of animals. Such pictures are not only well perceived by the child, but are also perfectly remembered by him. Well, if you, even more to everything, each of the cards shown to the child will be accompanied by a short story about little animals, your baby will be just delighted with such a "zoology lesson". By the way, to tell the kid about animals, you can take in the story line their name, habitat range, food preferences and the way they "communicate" with each other.
About animals not by hearsay
Another good way to tell your child about animals is audio books, from which the child will be able to hear how the dog eats, mew the kitten or how to pronounce its mu-mu-mu mare.
Also, parents can read to their child humorous stories or poems about our younger brothers. To this end, it is necessary to purchase children's literature in the bookstore, which necessarily has vivid illustrations. Thanks to these illustrations, the child will not only be happy to listen to a cheerful poem about the seal, but will also see his image in a colorful picture.
At a time when your baby grows a bit, you should get a good encyclopedia about the world of animals. It is from her pages that a child will be able to obtain interesting and useful information that is necessarily accompanied by images and photographs.
Video about animals
Periodically, together with the child, watch movies that tell you about nature. Just in such films animals are shown in their natural habitat. By the way, be sure to preview it before you show it to the kid. So you will be able to avoid undesirable explanations regarding the issue of bestial hunting or the breeding season for animals. The selection of films should be thorough and include good films, which are specially recommended for children's viewing. In such films, generalized facts from the animal world should be shown. And yet, buy for the baby a series of funny animated cartoons about animals. For these purposes good old and good Soviet cartoons will do.
Acquaintance with little animals in life
Why do not you take your kid to a fun and colorful presentation in the circus, where the main characters are little animals. In the intermission of the show, you can make a couple of photos with this or that animal. As a rule, small children love the circus very much and with great pleasure observe how trained animals perform numbers.
Visiting the zoo also plays a positive role at the time of development and expansion of the children's horizons. Here you can, using the "living examples" to tell the baby about each of the animals. Take the camera, taking photos, which let the child now tell about what animal is what.
Thanks to this excursion the child will be able to get not only a huge amount of impressions, but also to gain precious experience in dealing with our lesser brothers.
We fix our story with creativity
Draw together with the baby various animals or make them from plasticine. Such a creative approach will help you in a game form to tell the baby about this or that beast, and most importantly, together with him determine who has what kind of appearance and how they differ among themselves.
