Pets provide the basis for a wonderful topic which builds on children's natural interest in animals and all living things. As always, it is essential to ensure that any project reflects the learning needs and interests of children in the setting. A project such as 'pets' may have developed in response to the interests of a group of children, or because of a significant event, such as the introduction of a new resident pet in the classroom. By providing stimulating and challenging experiences that promote children's imagination and curiosity, practitioners can engage all children in this ever-popular theme.
