HOW TO USE IT

The five steps on the sheet.

  1. 1

    Circle

    Four of the five animals live in the wetland — circle the whole soggy team.

  2. 2

    Match

    Draw a line from frog, egret and crocodile to the lily pond, the reedy bank and the mud burrow.

  3. 3

    Count

    One group has exactly 4 lily pads — count each group and circle it.

  4. 4

    Choose

    Two scenes — circle the one that shows the wetland.

  5. 5

    Trace

    Trace the big word WETLAND, then write it in the box.

Before you start, have the words ready: The word wetland, and three wetland regulars on the sheet: frog, egret and crocodile.

WHY IT HELPS

What this worksheet teaches.

A wetland is land that is soaked — ponds, reeds and mud — and it is a dinner, a bath and a hiding place all at once.

The wetland is the habitat that is neither dry nor deep — naming it teaches children that habitats come in every in-between flavor, not just desert versus ocean.

  • Habitat vocabulary
  • Matching animals to wetland homes
  • Sorting belong and not belong
  • Counting to 4

FOR GROWN-UPS

Tips, questions and practice.

Say before you start: Where the water meets the grass, the wetland squelches — let us find who loves it that way.

Questions to ask: Who hops and who wades? What does the crocodile use the mud for? Have you ever heard frogs at night?

Parent tips: After the sheet, jump like a frog, wade slowly like an egret and snap like a crocodile — three animals, three moves.

Home practice: Pass any pond or canal on your walks and ask: who from our sheet could live here?
