How Polar Animals Keep Warm Experiment

We’ve been learning about polar animals for the past week, and Mavi and Vito have the same question that kept popping up during the course of our learning:  why are these animals like the polar bears and penguin don’t get cold in the ice?  Well, to answer the question we did a simple experiment on what makes these animals warm in the polar regions.

Favourite Books about the Arctic and Antarctic Regions

I'm sharing our favourite books on winter animals, about the arctic and Antarctic regions.  Hope you find this list helpful.

Arctic Diorama

Last week, the boys and I made an arctic diorama.  I asked the boys to help me assemble a small diorama that we can place on the table for exploration and subject of discussion in the course of our polar region studies.

Polar Activities for Preschoolers

Here are our 9 activity trays this winter season, where in some days, Vito can finish 3 activities in a day while in some, almost none.  These ideas are good for about 2-3 weeks of learning.  Vito would also work on some non-polar activities in between, mostly practising reading with pink series, playing with our Grimm’s blocks, Legos, and just about anything he wants to do.  There are also spontaneous activities that come in between, mostly a product of discussion and as book extensions.  I mostly share these in my Instagram account, but if it’s post-worthy, you’ll be able to read it in the blog as well.
