About Alive or Not?
A ladybug and a mushroom are alive, but a ball and a chair are not. Your child drags each picture to the sprout for living things or to the gear for everything else. Trees count as living and a teddy bear does not, which can start a good talk about what alive means.
How to play
- Drag the picture to the sprout bin or the gear bin.
- Or tap the bin where you think it goes.
- Use 1 and 2 or the arrow keys on a keyboard.
What your child practices
- Telling living from not living
- Plants, animals and objects
- Early science thinking
