How might toddlers explore Owl Pellets?
After dissecting the pellet, toddlers can sort the bones, fur and other materials into piles of similar objects. Children this age can look at the different bones and try to find bones that are similar to one another. Toddlers may also be able to match a larger bone that they find to one of the images on an owl pellet identification chart. However, toddlers do not yet have the ability to mentally rotate objects in three dimensions, so a grownup can help them with their matching endeavors by turning/flipping over bones, so that they are oriented the same way as the pictures on the chart.
