Our world is filled with tons of living beings, including us. Some of them are frightening, yet some of them are adorable; some of them are fast, some of them are slow, and some of them are huge, while some of them are also extremely small.
Although the huge, fast, and frightening creatures do get more attention from us, the small, slow, and adorable creatures also deserve some attention from us.
Thus, we need to provide knowledge about these creatures to our young generation.
Thus, in this blog post, I am going to list a bunch of activities for your kids surrounding a small creature, a mouse.
