Begin classification work with Living and Non-Living things, two broad categories whose differences are readily perceived. The
Living set includes an overview of the characteristics of living things and 3-part photo cards for 12 living things (bee, clover, fish, humans, jellyfish, lobster, moss, mushroom, newt, spider, tree, tulips).
Working with these popular card packets helps children find order in their world. First introduce this
Living category alone for naming. Then, mix with
Non-Living (SC74, SC75) for sorting.
