Children learn best with visual aids. Seeing what they are learning helps retain the information better.

If you are learning about hibernation, then showing them hibernating animals pictures is how they learn best.

Images of Animals that Hibernate

When it comes to this lesson, you definitely want pictures of hibernating animals in the Winter.

It makes the lesson easier for both you and the kids because they will make a better and faster connection between the name and the photo.

That is why these are perfect pictures of animals that hibernate for preschoolers, kindergarteners and elementary kids!

When you print these hibernation animals images, be sure to print them out in color.

Offer as little or as much guidance as your kids need. Younger kids will need more help, especially if they can’t read.

But I have definitely seen young kids like preschoolers complete this activity.

They just need you to read the animal names for them.

It’s also a great way for them to begin the pre-reading process (connecting the animal word to the animal picture).
