For the grown-ups.

The included guide brings the activity together with prompts, instructions and answer notes where needed.

  • The octopus has eight arms. A dolphin is a mammal, a sea turtle is a reptile, and a seahorse is a fish.
  • Use the drawings to notice shapes. These simplified illustrations do not show animals at the same scale.
  • Colors are open-ended. For natural colors, compare a photograph of a named species together.
