Your mini forest biome is complete!
Encourage your child to talk about the different elements in a forest biome — the trees, mountains, wild animals, etc. Let them pretend play as an explorer who is on a jungle safari. Can they spot the animals? How sound does each wild animal make? You can also play the game of I spy with your child.
As your child creates a mini forest biome from scratch, their creativity is enhanced.
