Learning about Rabbits

Easter and spring are fine times to learn about rabbits, but of course you can do a rabbit unit study any time of year. Here are some resources to help your kiddos learn about rabbits.

Mrs. Thompson’s Treasures has a great free printable set on rabbit science, including labeling the parts of a rabbit, a page to read, a mini book to print and color, a Venn diagram comparing rabbits to kangaroos and a writing page.

Living Life and Learning has a free printable rabbit life cycle worksheet set you can download after you subscribe to their newsletter. The post also includes some good rabbit related books and other resources.

Homeschool Preschool has a nice set of rabbit learning activities, which includes life cycle, parts of a rabbit, practicing writing the letter r, a number maze, puzzle and more. These are free when you sign up for their newsletter.

If you want to buy some resources for learning about rabbits, the set from A Dab of Glue Will Do is a great one. It includes life cycle printables, information about the difference between a rabbit and a hare, posters and a PowerPoint presentation, activities related to herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and more. You can buy this set at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Montessori Nature has another great set of printables for purchase. This pack includes life cycle and parts of the rabbit activities, rabbit information and characteristics, a little book about rabbits and more. This post also includes some good information about considerations for getting a rabbit as a pet for the classroom or home if that’s something you’re thinking about.

Riki Tiki Art on Etsy has a lovely set of printables for a rabbit unit study, including facts about rabbits and hares, what they eat, anatomy and life cycle, coloring and tracing activities, a fun bean art project, classroom decor and more.

Guy Fawkes Night, otherwise known as Bonfire Night or Fireworks Night, is celebrated on Nov. 5 in the UK to mark the occasion in 1605 when Fawkes and other Catholic dissenters attempted to blow up Parliament and kill Protestant King James I. The plot was uncovered and stopped, but the day is still remembered and used as an occasion for bonfires, fireworks and fun, celebrating the nation’s (and the king’s) deliverance from a potentially fatal event.

Learn more about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, plus grab some worksheets if you’re a member (for example, this word search), from Activity Village. You’ll learn that using the word “guy” to refer to a man comes from Guy Fawkes, among other interesting facts. Kids Konnect also has some Guy Fawkes facts and worksheets for you to use in the classroom or at home.

Get some fun Guy Fawkes Night coloring pages from Coloring Pages Only. Admittedly some of these are a little silly but the whole idea of celebrating this day is a little weird to me so I’ll allow it.

Print out a Guy Fawkes mask from Twinkl, or you can do a full body scene to cut and paste from DLTK Kids. Check out more resources and some oddly cute 3D Guy Fawkes paper crafts that are also from Twinkl.

This is a great time to bring out all your fireworks and bonfire crafts (for example, this pointillist fireworks craft or a pretend play campfire). Find a few ideas for fireworks themed crafts for Guy Fawkes Day at Mud Mates. I love the look of the fireworks toast, pictured here.

EParenting has some more good ideas for ways to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night with kids. They also have a word search and have gathered some cute snack ideas for you to check out.
