WHAT CAN YOUR ANIMAL DO?

You need: some stuffed animals

Look at your stuffed animal and its body parts: its feet, tail, mouth, color, skin, and arms.

What do they look like?

What do you think it eats?

Where do you think it lives?

What are some things you think it does?

Example: Ducks go in the water because they have webs in their toes to help them swim. Their
feathers keep them warm in the cold water, and the oil on the feathers keeps them dry.
