Explain
Explain that children are going to learn about how animals grow:
- What is growth.
- How animals change as they grow.
- The difference between how domestic animals grow up and how wild animals grow up.

Model
Ask children: What are some names for baby animals? (cubs, puppies, ducklings). Ask children: What are some ways adult animals might look different from baby animals? (they’re bigger, different colors, lions grow manes, etc.) Say: Sometimes when you look at a baby animal, it is hard to believe that it can grow up to be so big. What are some animals you could watch grow in your own home? (cats, dogs, fish, etc.)
Apply
Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to talk about baby animals they’ve seen. After the second game, encourage them to share experiences they have had with young animals, and talk about how they were different from adult animals.
Close
Ask children: The butterfly is an animal that goes through big changes as it grows. Draw a series of pictures that shows the three basic stages of a butterfly’s growth. Say: As animals grow, they change. When animals grow, they need to be taken care of. Think of how you are taken care of.
