BRIGHT, Engaging, Double-Sided Learning
Meet the cutest babies in the animal kingdom!
With Tot Talk’s Animal Families Placemat, little learners discover adorable baby animals, learn their unique names, and explore fun facts that bring wildlife and nature to life.
Front Side
Features beautifully illustrated animal families from around the world — elephants, bears, horses, monkeys, kangaroos, swans, whales, reptiles, and more. Children learn what baby animals are called (cygnet, joey, calf, pup, kit, tadpole, hatchling, foal, cub, and others) while exploring fascinating behavior and family traits. Engaging callouts make new vocabulary memorable and spark natural curiosity about animals and habitats.
Back Side
Includes a fun baby-animal matching game where kids draw lines from each adult animal to its baby. Additional trivia teaches how different animals grow, what their babies eat, and how they behave in early life. Kids can also color the animals and retake the matching challenge again and again using washable or dry-erase markers.
