BRIGHT, Engaging, Double-Sided Learning

Into the wild we go—but hurry, these animals need us! Step into a world filled with powerful tigers, gentle giants, soaring birds, and deep-sea wonders. But look closely… many of these incredible creatures are at risk. Tot Talk’s Endangered Animals placemat brings their stories to life and shows kids how they can make a difference.

Front Side

A vibrant gallery of endangered species introduces children to remarkable animals from around the globe—from snow leopards and giant pandas to blue whales, tigers, mountain gorillas, red-crowned parrots, African wild dogs, and more. Each species includes key information: where it lives, how many remain, and the major threats it faces, such as habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.
Clear visuals and simple facts help kids understand why protecting these animals matters and spark empathy for wildlife conservation.

Back Side

The wipe-clean back side highlights five inspiring conservation heroes—scientists, explorers, and wildlife defenders who dedicated their lives to saving endangered species. Kids learn how real people around the world are making a difference, from protecting cranes to studying chimpanzees and safeguarding big cats.
Children are encouraged to take action by selecting meaningful ways they can help, such as reducing water usage, choosing sustainable products, and learning more about endangered species.
Creative, reusable activities invite kids to color animals, add patterns, and design their own wildlife artwork—wiping clean for endless fun.
