Course Description

Does your child enjoy drawing, building, and learning about the natural world? In this ongoing class, learners will explore a different animal habitat each week, from icy Arctic landscapes and towering mountains to tropical jungles, oceans, wetlands, deserts, and more. Through engaging discussion, pictures, and fun facts, we'll discover what makes each habitat unique and how it provides everything plants and animals need to survive. After our habitat lesson, learners will complete a guided drawing of the week's environment before bringing it to life by designing and building their own habitat. They may use whatever materials they already enjoy creating with, including household craft supplies, cardboard, recycled materials, magnetic tiles, building bricks, wooden blocks, or other open-ended building materials. There is no single "right" way to create each habitat. Every learner is encouraged to use their imagination while applying what they've learned about the habitat's features. Learners are welcome to add animals to their drawings or builds, but our focus is creating the habitat itself. Each class is a complete, stand-alone lesson, making it easy for learners to join at any point during our 12-week rotation. Whether your learner attends one class or all twelve, they'll build confidence through creativity while discovering the amazing habitats found around God's world.
