Prairie

---

We were learning about the grassland habitat, but we found out the savanna and the prairie are very different, even both are grassland. We studied them separately.

What We Used

• Books and videos about the prairie
• Animals in the prairie images from the internet or your drawings
• Color pencils, crayons or markers for drawing
• Letter size paper for drawing the prairie scenery
• Scissors for cutting out the animal images

I recommend using actual animal images, not the clip-arts because most kids have never seen these animals except at the zoo.
