Parent Tip: Bring the Safari Home! To extend the learning fun, create a mini-savanna at home. Use blankets or sheets to create a “grassland” area, and gather stuffed animals or toys to represent savanna creatures. Encourage your child to use their imagination and create their own safari adventures!
