Learning about Monkeys

May 4, 2016 by L. E. Mastilock 3 Comments

I’m excited to be joining the What to Read blog hop link up as a co-host. Each week we have a different theme and I’ll be suggesting my favorite books for learning about that topic with your kids.

Animals have always been one of my kids’ favorite topics in homeschool learning. Preschool and Kindergarten homeschooling is the perfect age for unit studies. I let the kids loose in the library and we’d  find all sorts of books about animals. We would choose one animal they were especially interested in and then try to find many different kinds of books to study.

Kids books for learning about Monkeys and primates. From picture books for preschoolers or kindergarten to science books and early readers. Perfect for your homeschool unit studies science curriculum

This week’s What to Read post is about Monkeys. So I would include picture books, fables, as well as non-fiction books for kids with lots of true facts about Monkeys. I’d include different types of primates to compare differences and likenesses in behaviors, habitat, and more. I use the one topic to bring in fun ways to learn math, science, art projects, and every subject of learning.

Some related activities featured in these posts:

  • Cardboard Multiplication Monkey Calculator
  • Save the Rain Forest with a Click
  • Educational Resources
  • Life of Fred Books Deals

We can all get so busy each day. There is never enough time, but I encourage you to make time to read to your kids. I have put some extra effort into lately, reading while my kids eat lunch, beginning bed time earlier so we have extra time to read in the evening… it’s one of my favorite activities to do with my kids. Read a book or two about Monkeys or any subject that is interesting to your children.  If you have any posts with some family favorite books of your own, please share them at the end of the post. We love to find new books!

    It’s so nice to have you join in the fun as co-host, Leah! You’ve shared some fun monkey books, and I’m adding several of these to my library list. More Spaghetti, I Say! looks like one my son would love.

    What a fun topic! I remember being madly in love with Curious George stories when I was younger. Monkeys are fascinating and such a beautiful animal. The work of Jane Goodall and others that save this species are simply amazing.
