The Animal and Plant Matching Puzzle (I038-2) asks children to pair animals with the plants or habitats they are associated with, supporting early ecology concepts and classification work in the Life Science area. It functions well as a follow-up material after initial animal kingdom presentations or as an independent shelf work for children ready to think about relationships between living things. Teachers will find it useful for building the conceptual groundwork that leads into more formal botany and zoology work at the Elementary level.
