Let's solve this step-by-step.
Task:
Draw a line to match the parents to their babies.
We are given:
-
Four adult animals (parents) on the left side.
-
Four baby animals on the right side.
- We need to
match each parent to its corresponding baby based on animal type.

Step 1: Identify the Animals
#### Left Side (Parents):
1.
Elephant – large, with big ears and a trunk.
2.
Cow – has spots and horns.
3.
Pig – round body, short legs, snout.
4.
Giraffe – long neck, spotted pattern.
#### Right Side (Babies):
1.
Spotted cow – looks like a calf with spots.
2.
Giraffe – small giraffe with long neck and spots.
3.
Baby elephant – small elephant with trunk and tusks.
4.
Baby pig – small pig with snout.

Step 2: Match Each Parent to Its Baby
Now let’s pair them:
1.
Adult Elephant →
Baby Elephant
- Both have trunks, large ears, and similar shapes.
- Already has a dashed line drawn from the adult elephant to the baby elephant — this is correct.
2.
Adult Cow →
Spotted Calf
- The cow has spots; the baby cow also has spots.
- So, match the cow to the spotted calf.
3.
Adult Pig →
Baby Pig
- The pig is round with a snout; the baby pig is smaller but same shape.
- Match these two.
4.
Adult Giraffe →
Baby Giraffe
- Both have long necks and spotted patterns.
- Match the giraffe to the small giraffe.

Final Matching:
| Parent | Baby |
|---------------|-------------------|
| Elephant | Baby Elephant |
| Cow | Spotted Calf |
| Pig | Baby Pig |
| Giraffe | Baby Giraffe |

Solution Summary:
-
Elephant → already matched to
baby elephant ✔
-
Cow → draw a line to
spotted calf
-
Pig → draw a line to
baby pig
-
Giraffe → draw a line to
baby giraffe

Answer: Connect each parent to the baby that matches its species. The only pre-drawn line (elephant to baby elephant) is correct. Draw lines for the others accordingly.
✔ This helps children learn animal families and matching by appearance.
