\"Tree<\/p>\n

When visiting Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom<\/a>, one of my favorite things to do is visit the Tree of Life.\u00a0 My kids however don\u2019t always feel the same. \u00a0To make this a more pleasant experience for everyone I create a quick seek-and-find sheet for them to keep them entertained while I take in all the amazing details of the tree. \u00a0Here is how I created it as well as one for you to use if you want.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amazing Animals Displayed<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tree of Life is one of the most breathtaking parts of any Disney park. \u00a0Right up there with Cinderella Castle is this amazing 145 foot sculpture that includes around 325 different animals carved into the trunk, roots and every branch of the tree. \u00a0While at Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom, I always schedule time in our day to explore and take in this magnificent display of art. \u00a0I love walking around the outside and discovering all the many different animals that are displayed throughout.<\/p>\n

Daughter (4) on mission to find animals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though I really enjoy this process, my kids (4 and 2 our first trip and now 9 and 6) I knew probably wouldn\u2019t be as excited about strolling around a big tree. \u00a0I wanted to bring something along that would keep them interested in the tree itself and maybe, slowly start to appreciate the amazingness that is truly is. \u00a0After thinking about it, I decided to create a seek-and-find sheet for them. \u00a0My thought was this would keep them looking at the tree itself instead of everything else they might want to do or eat, which is usually the case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Daughter (4) with her seek and find<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you can\u2019t really find a list of all the animals on the tree itself, I had to guess as to which ones to include. \u00a0I tried to go from memory from previous trips as well as sticking to the bigger known animals and larger animals that I thought would be easier for them to find. \u00a0I also left places for them to fill in their own animals that we would come across but might not be on the sheet.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you this worked amazingly.<\/p>\n

Son (6) working hard to mark off animals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both kids absolutely loved finding the animals on the tree and marking them off! \u00a0On both trips the kids were extremely excited to find the different animals. \u00a0I adjusted the sheet from our first trip where they couldn\u2019t read by using more pictures to this time I had one with mostly words for our daughter and pictures still for our son.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kids working together to find animals<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was such an easy thing to bring with me, but I felt it made a big difference during this experience. \u00a0The kids were not whinny about being bored, but instead were engaged and working together to try to find animals on the tree. \u00a0We even took time to sit down in front of the tree and just relax while they looked together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More detailed animals<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe that I will continue to bring something like this for the Tree of Life on our trips as it makes such a huge difference. \u00a0I highly recommend making your own, or trying one of these already made for you.<\/p>\n
