Armed with Apologia's Flying Creatures and older brother's Apologia Biology books plus the internet, my kids did a good job organizing and classifying. They had fun AND it was a great way to help them visualize this aspect of science!

Kingdom Animalia....where did all these animals come from and who paid for them ?

Phylum Chordata ..... still a pile load of creatures!

Phylum Arthropoda

Class Crondichthyes

Class Crustacea - a tasty bunch!

Class Aves

Class Mammalia - still more!

Order Perissodactyla - My daughter's favorite

Order Carnivora (The bears were absent from this picture!)

Order Rodentia

Order Arteodactyla

Order Hexanchiformes

Order Primates
When we have more time to spend on this, I think we'll try to go further in our classification.
