Fun Activity and Animal Coloring Book for Kids Ages 5-7

Kids are always excited to watch animals, be it a wild animal in a zoo or a pet at your home. The way animals eat, interact with each other, play, and fight entertains children. Parents and educators can take advantage of this natural curiosity to teach them about our environment, habitats, the role different animals play in the ecosystem, how some cooperate and compete with others, etc. Studies have shown that beyond these nature lessons, animals also teach kids about responsibility, compassion, trust, respect, and loyalty. There is a lot that kids can learn from animal behaviors – determination from spiders, teamwork from ants, loyalty and trustworthiness from dogs, compassion from elephants, and intelligence from dolphins. The life forms on our planet, from teeny tiny bacteria to the mighty whales, evoke the interests of adults and kids alike. Kids can have so many questions about animals. Sometimes adults find these questions difficult to answer and frustrating. Fortunately for parents and educators, there are endless resources about animals specially designed for kids.

 

Wildlife of the World is a gorgeous book that details a wide range of habitats and animals with beautiful photographs and interesting facts [1]. Like their videos, National Geographic books win kids' hearts with realistic pictures. National Geographic Kids Animal Encyclopedia [2], National Geographic The Photo Ark: One Man's Quest to Document the World's Animals [3], National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Animals [4], and National Geographic Readers: Saving Animal Babies [5] are some of the must-reads for young animal lovers. Science story books like Bird Builds a Nest by Martin Jenkins [6], Flying deep by Alvin [7], Hello Hello by Brendan Wenzel [8], This Is the Nest That Robin Built by Denise Fleming [9], Baako's wild Journey by Jinu Mathew [10] are great choices for introducing STEM topics, initiating discussions and activities, and encouraging kids to deep dive into topics that interest them.

 

Animal coloring books are a great fun activity to encourage children's natural interest in the animal world. Animal coloring books for kids of different age groups are available in the market. Cute Animal Coloring Book For Kids by Buddy Bee [11], 100 Baby Animals by Coloring Book Café [12], and Awesome animals Coloring Books For Kids by the Future Teacher Foundation [13] are some of the best-selling animal coloring books for toddlers and grade-schoolers. Patterns and Colors: Animals and Birds Coloring Book by Alacarte publishers stand out by supplementing the images with fun facts about the animals that would educate and inspire the curious minds [14]. This book uses simple patterned coloring spaces to boost kids' imagination and creativity [15]. These books allow kids to try various color combinations and express their creativity. In addition to keeping them engaged, these books will help kids recognize the vast and diverse animal world, from big cats in the jungle such as tigers, lions, etc. to domestic animals like dogs, cats, chickens, etc. to fantastic sea creatures like sea turtles, dolphins, and sharks.

 

Every animal has a unique life value and great lessons to teach us. Parents and educators have to nurture kids' interest in the animal world and highlight and impact these values into them.
