About this resource

Homes in Nature is a printable matching resource inviting children to observe animals and connect them to the places they call home.

Children are encouraged to look closely, notice environmental details, and think about what different habitats offer. The resource remains open-ended, allowing adults to guide discussion gently rather than moving toward a single “correct” outcome.

This set includes six illustrated habitats and coordinating animal cards designed to support thoughtful conversation and flexible thinking.
Suggested age range

3–7 years.

Designed to grow with the child through guided conversation and flexible thinking.
