Kavi's Mixed-Up Animal Cards
Kavi's animal cards 🐶🐄🦁🐟 have tumbled into one big pile! "Let's investigate," hoots Kavi. "First I plan: one clear rule. Is it a pet, a farm animal or wild? Then I observe, sort, and conclude." Later Kavi tries a new rule — counting legs — and gets brand-new groups!

What your child will learn
1Rule 1: Where does it live?Plan: pick one clear rule. A pet lives at home with a family. A farm animal lives on a farm. A wild animal lives in nature and finds its own food.
2Predict: pet, farm or wild?Some animals look like a pet but are not! Use our rule, predict the group, then tap to check — and see why.
3Rule 2: How many legs?Now count the legs instead! Look closely — a bird's wings are not legs.
4What did we find out?A scientist concludes: what did our investigation show? Tap each card.
