🦘 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Australian animals fascinate children because they're so different from animals they know. Use that curiosity to teach about island evolution and why Australia has marsupials while other continents have placental mammals. Even young children can grasp the concept of "animals that developed separately."
