Teaching young children about the importance of the Arctic in our planet’s ecosystem is an important first step to developing environmental consciousness.

By providing your little one with the opportunity to construct their own polar bear habitats, they are learning about how these living structures function and thrive.

As your child creates their individual den, they are formulating combinations of how shapes fit together.

Open-ended play such as this also prompts them to group like objects together, an important precursor to more complicated mathematical concepts.
