how about baby animals? you would take them to a farm towards the end of the month to see the new babies. (might be cold though) !! you could have activities where you match the babies to the mummies etc and tie it in with spring

How about making some animals out of paper mache? I'm doing that next week!

Jigsaw puzzles, get some toy animals & talk about what sounds they make? Also go to the library & get the children to choose their own animal books

you could do farm animal / jungle animal/ snow animal/ water animas/extinct animals ect... a theme a week so you can go to the library everyweek found books about animal or if a child has a favorite found more info on it

songs related to the animals

puzzles

make a habitat in a cat tray with water or grass or sand...according to animal of the moment. good time for the snow animal!!!

someone said that the foil cover were making great pretend igloo!!.....

what animal the kids like in your setting?
good luck
