This educational material is a set of picture cards that focuses on the differences in how animals give birth. It introduces three types of birth: “laying eggs (oviparous),” “giving birth to babies (viviparous),” and “eggs hatch inside the body and babies are born (ovoviviparous).” Children can enjoy learning about how different animals are born by sorting them into these categories.
The data is designed in pairs: the front shows a photo, and the back includes a simple, easy-to-understand explanation. Please print and glue both sides together for use. Place the name card for each category—laying eggs, giving birth to babies, and eggs that hatch inside the body—then sort the animal cards underneath. Flip the cards over to check the answers and read a fun fact about each animal’s way of life to deepen understanding through discovery.
Animals included in this set:
Rabbit, Crocodile, Rattlesnake, Whale, Frog, Great white shark, Dolphin, Squid, Seahorse, Elephant, Penguin, Guppy, Bat, Salmon, Platypus, Seal, Butterfly
