Talk About It
1Can you point to the dog in the green circle? 🐶
2Which friend is NOT living — the bee or the balloon? 🐝🎈
Is a flower 🌻 a living thing?
✗Thinking a teddy bear 🧸 is living because it looks like an animal.
A teddy bear does not grow, eat, or drink. It is NOT living! 🧸
✗Thinking a moving balloon 🎈 is alive because it floats.
The wind moves the balloon. It cannot eat, grow, or breathe, so it is NOT living!
🐶Your pet dog eats, runs, and grows — it is living! 🦴
🌻A flower in the garden grows big and needs water and sun! ☀️
