These supplemental teaching resources promote awareness about health, family life, and cultural diversity for children in kindergarten through third grade, and offer a variety of concrete, visual activities to help young children understand how life begins for all living things. The format of each lesson is designed to help classroom and daycare center teachers introduce children to different kinds of plant and animal babies, laying the foundation for future lessons about human reproduction. Reproducible masters for student activity sheets and teacher patterns, and suggestions for integrating the activities into art, science, math, and other areas of the primary curriculum, are found at the end of each lesson. Activities include creation of eggshell gardens, collages, mobiles, biographies, and other hands-on projects as children learn: (1) all living things begin as babies; (2) all living things make more babies (reproduce); (3) some babies begin life from a seed (plants); (4) some babies begin life from an egg; (5) baby seeds grow into flowering plants; (6) every baby is unique; and (7) babies need special care to grow strong and healthy. A discussion of the beginning of human reproduction and babies is optional contingent upon the school district's family life education policy. (LL)
