It's a great way to foster appreciation for the amazing diversity that exists in the animal world, and helps to teach children very basic evolutionary concepts, such as how animals are suited to the environment in which they live.The more that children learn to appreciate the natural world, the more likely they will want to experience it for themselves, and help to conserve it for the enjoyment of future generations.I hope you and your little ones enjoy I've Got Feet!
