The Wise Owl 

Owls are symbols of wisdom. They stay quiet, observe, and then act. Teaching children to pause and think before they speak or write helps them build strong communication skills. 

Reading bedtime stories about owls can encourage talks about patience and wisdom.  Curiosity spark: If your child could ask an owl one question, what do you think it would be?

The Busy Bee Honeybees collaborate to construct their hives and create honey. Their secret to achieving success lies in teamwork! Kids can take a lesson from bees by engaging in cooperative activities, whether it’s sharing toys, assisting siblings, or collaborating on group assignments. Reading tales about animals that unite can motivate teamwork in your household.

Question for parents: In what ways do you promote teamwork in your child's everyday life?

The Courteous Parrot

Parrots are capable of imitating human language, but interestingly, they can also acquire good manners through repetition. Children, much like parrots, pick up phrases like “please” and “thank you” by frequently hearing them. Instilling good etiquette from an early age aids kids in developing respect and kindness, which are as vital as learning their ABCs. Thought-provoking question: If your child had the chance to teach a parrot one polite expression, what would that be?

The Inquisitive Cat 

Cats are famous for their playful inquisitiveness. Did you realize a cat is capable of jumping up to six times its own length? Just think about how children might engage with learning if they adopted that same sense of wonder, always prepared to dive into fresh ideas! 

Motivate your child to inquire about their surroundings. Curiosity enhances reading and writing abilities, as it drives children to seek out answers. 

Question for parents: What’s the most amusing or unexpected question your child has ever posed?
