During the Little Explorers class yesterday, my preschoolers learned about habitats. We went on a hike to find examples of the three things animals need for survival which are shelter, food, and water.
Butterfly drinking nectar
The first thing we spotted was the butterfly right outside the nature center drinking nectar from a daisy, masha Allah.
Next, we located wild blueberries which are food for birds, deer and other animals. Deer also munch on azalea shoots, insha Allah.

A hole in a tree serves as shelter to birds, squirrels, and bats, masha Allah. Lily pads provide cover for fish, frogs, insects, and other creatures.
The finale of the hike was a lovely waterfall which serves as a source of water for all animals, subhannallah.
