What are ‘Invertebrates’?
(Description appropriate for 2-7 year olds)
Invertebrates are special creatures that don’t have a backbone! Imagine squishy jellyfish floating in the ocean, busy ants marching on the ground, or colourful butterflies fluttering in the garden. These amazing animals come in all shapes and sizes! Some invertebrates, like snails, carry their homes on their backs, while others, like octopuses, have eight arms to explore the sea. They help make our world a wonderful place by pollinating flowers, cleaning up the ocean, and even providing food for bigger animals. So next time you see a worm wriggling in the dirt or a ladybug on a leaf, remember that they’re all part of the amazing invertebrate family!
