Zebra Fun Card

Zebra Fun Card
For today, the card example I am going to show you is a little different. This type of card is specifically designed for children and hopefully sheds a little knowledge on them. I like to think of fun ways to teach my kids about things especially when it comes to zoology. That is the best part about biology, which is my job. Inside the card I created a rhyming poem about Zebras - you may laugh, giggle, or cry - but I think it is sufficient to get the point across about the fun and beautiful Zebras! I always like to have a positive attitude and, of course, be funny or a little sarcastic. Children should have fun when learning. When they enjoy learning, their self-esteem builds.
Take a look below and hope you like it! I hope it puts a smile on your face. Once again, I am not ashamed to be a little nerdy. *haha*

Zebra Fun Card Poem
Zebras are social.
Zebras are nice.
Zebras are mammals,
with black and white stripes.
 
They belong to the horse family,
and sleep standing up,
during an attack,
they like to huddle up.
 
They form a circle,
to care for the young.
The male stallion will ward off,
the threat of wild dogs.
 
Zebras have four gaits.
And zebras eat grass.
A zonkey is a hybrid,
between a zebra and an ass.
 
Zebras are not domesticated,
but horses are.
While zebras stand out,
like a bright twinkling star.
 
A zebra's ears,
will tell you its mood.
Straight up is happy,
backwards is rude.
 
An amazing creature,
A Zebra sure is,
an amniotic tetrapod,
full of magic and bliss.
 
Thank you for visiting!
