Description

The Life Cycle of a Crocodile Activity goes beyond the standard life cycle offering.  This unique material takes the Child from the verbal story; developing the sensorial (concrete) understanding of the material with the objects (sold separately); to the abstract, with the incorporation of images and labels.  Colour-coded material, coded according to the Montessori Animal Kingdom.  Crocodiles are classified as Reptiles, and coded brown.   14 Species of crocodiles live from 35 to 75 years of age.  Fossils of crocodiles  show that they lived over 200 million years ago.
