$89.95
After children start to become aware of the variety of animals in the world, and to learn the names by means of vocabulary cards and books, they become interested in the external parts of animals, and in comparing them with her own body. Which animals have legs? eyes? tails?
This is a standard Montessori study and 3-6+ class material, which continues in a new way, with internal parts, at the 6-12 level. As the child learns to look carefully and name more and more animals she begins to see the similarities and differences in the bodies. Children love to know the names of each body part, and this simple introduction will lay the foundation for later studies in the way animals change over time in order to adapt to their environment. External parts cards contains full color photographs of each vertebrate, the part named isolated by being in color. Each set contains, for each example, control cards, matching picture cards, and word cards.
