God Makes the Desert Animals: Jackrabbits

This is part of our preschool learning we did at home. It includes ideas that can be used at home to learn about God's creation. *This is intended for home use or preschool (or kindergarten) classes. They are not intended for Bible class.*

We began our study about jackrabbits with these information posters I created. They are two to a page to save printing. They have a real photo and information text easy for preschoolers to understand and hold their interest. Click here to download the posters.

 

 I put together notebooks for each person that included each habitat. I added the other animals we would be looking at like farm and pets to the same notebook. These Pond animal posters were created to be able to see each pond animal. I used real photos and put two per page to save ink. Just cut down the middle after printing and they are ready to use. I kept them simple, but tried to find full bodies of the animals in their habitat.  Click here to download.

 

We made the free jackrabbit project found here.

They love facemasks and headbands! We used the jackrabbit headband found here.

We painted the free coloring page found here.

I purchased this habitat pack and the kids love using stickers!
 I used the Desert set from this pack.

 

We looked at these books from the library. This means this is what our library had available. If there is not a link, then it was not on Amazon at the time of posting. I suggest looking at your library to see what is available for free and if you love any of the books, then purchase them. Most of these are not really for preschoolers.  They really liked:

Jack's Rabbit & After reading The Tortoise and the Jackrabbit to them, we looked at The Tortoise and the Hare. It is basically pictures, so I let them retell me the story!
