Beanie Baby Habitats

I found some old beanie babies in my closet at school--perfect timing for our animals and habitats unit!  I assigned groups of kids one animal, and they worked together as a team to research the animal's habitat, and then build a habitat for their animal using paper and a cardboard box lid!  Just a cute class project that I had to share!

  1. I love it! I have tons of beanies in my classroom and the girls love to play with them during choice time. I should have them make habitats for them too!
