The animal research craft writing project is an exciting and educational activity where students can choose from 50 different wild animals to explore and learn about. This flipbook craft provides a creative platform for students to write detailed information about their chosen animal, supported by multiple note catcher pages for jotting down key facts and observations. Students will write sentences, color, and draw illustrations that depict their animal’s habitat, behaviors, and survival strategies.
