Receive Text UpdatesElijah’s favorite thing about nature is the animals that live there! He’s always searching for bugs, frogs, and anything hiding outside. At home, he reads animal books, draws animals, and even creates “pet rescues” to take care of them. Nature makes him curious and excited to learn more every day.
Elijah’s favorite animals are frogs. Specifically, the red-eyed tree frog. He thinks their bright red eyes are really cool and he loves that they can jump really far. He likes learning about how they live in the rainforest and climb trees.
Elijah loves exploring outside for creatures. He also likes pretending to be a paleontologist digging up dinosaur fossils.
