Vertebrate & Invertebrate Animal

This meticulously designed Montessori zoology tray features a divided wooden panel (11.8" x 7.9") that introduces children to the fundamental classification of vertebrates and invertebrates.

The left compartment contains 5 detailed vertebrate animal figures: a yellow fish, turtle, seagull, frog, and St. Bernard dog. The right compartment holds 5 invertebrate specimens: a snail, ladybug, shrimp, butterfly, and ant.

Through hands-on exploration, children develop essential scientific vocabulary, classification skills, and an understanding of animal biological characteristics. The self-correcting nature of the tray allows independent learning, while the realistic miniatures spark curiosity about zoology and natural science.

Ideal for Montessori classrooms and homeschool environments, this material promotes critical thinking, fine motor skills, and a foundational understanding of biodiversity. The compact wooden tray ensures organized storage and easy accessibility for young learners.

Suitable for ages 3-6.
