Habitats, both small and large, form fascinating topics for children
to study and enjoy. From the micro-habitats in the backgarden,
to the deserts and jungles around the planet, children find studying
the animals, plants, structures, and conservation of habitats
a rewarding and enlightening experience. There are numerous opportunities
