Hands on Animal Experiences

As a parent, you are always on the lookout for new ways to enhance the learning experiences of your children. You want your kids to get the most out of everything that they come across so even the fun moments in life that seem like play are teachable moments where they can learn. Studies have shown that people, adults, and children, learn better when they can experience something right in front of them in a hands on way. This is particularly true when it comes to having a good understanding of different animals and species through hands on animal experiences. Kids will learn better if they can see the animals up close and will understand more about how important each species is and what its role is on the planet.

Adding to Education

Experiences like taking your child to a reptiles zoo can give them a good understanding of the animal to start with. Zoos can be a great place for the education about animals to start since it gives some exposure to different animals and you can learn about particular species, how they live, and what they do. This experience may spark your children to want to learn more about a particular mammal, bird, insect or reptile. At this point, you can then arrange to take things a little bit further and provide them with a unique, hands on experience that adds to their overall education.

Touching and Interacting with Reptiles

The chance to touch and interact with different reptiles, insects, and animals can come from a variety of different sources, including places like Critter Squad. You can arrange for different types of parties or educational events at a daycare, preschool or school that can give the children a chance to see different reptiles, learn about them, and touch them and hold them in their hands. When a child experiences something like this, he or she is more likely to learn more about the particular species and want to continue learning more. This can spur their interest on even further so that they want to look up more information, read books, watch videos and more as time goes on.

Enhance the Learning Process

Allowing hands on experiences allows children to use their different senses and make a unique connection with animals that they may never get the chance to experience under normal circumstances. It brings a special connection to the children that helps to enhance the learning process, and it can be highly rewarding for them now and in later years in life.
