ACTIVITY PLAN: Wild Kratts - Animals and their Habitats
The evil inventor Zach Varmitech has captured five baby animals and hidden them away in the forest! During this adventure (which could be split over the weekend), children will help find the animals, while learning about habitats and using their math skills (addition, subtraction, measurement, fractions, mapping, and sorting) to set them free. The plan includes videos, online games, mobile apps, hands-on activities and book suggestions.
