Resource kit of natural environment/animals

Hi I am needing some help in gathering some resources to be implemented with children to strengthen their environmental competence.

Q)Create a Resource Kit to increase children’s experiences and understanding of animals and the natural environment. Collect resources, photos, Weblinks, book titles etc. that would assist you in your work as an educator in an early childhood education and care service. Include resources that will provide children with a wide range of natural and recycled materials in their indoor and outdoor environments. Your Resource Kit is to contain at least ten resources.

Resources ideas so far....
1.Run Tree Run by Kelly Alsop,

2.Rescue on Nim's Island
Book by Wendy Orr

3.Natural resources such as leaves, sticks, stones, shells etc for art and craft experiences.

4.Matching and counting games
e.g bingo and matching picture games

What other resources would you suggest?
