We are exploring the world of wetlands and exploring the different animals and plants that are found there. Snakes, alligators, birds, bugs, frogs, and more can all be found in a swamp habitat. Swamps, marshes, and bogs are full of plants that live in the water and provide shelter for the animals that live there. We have so much to discover about this theme, let’s get started!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
