Let's solve this matching puzzle step by step.

Task:

Draw a line to match the parents (on the left) to their babies (on the right).

We have four animals on the left (parents) and four on the right (babies). We need to match each parent to its baby based on species.

Step 1: Identify the animals

#### Left Side (Parents):
1. Elephant – large, trunk, big ears
2. Cow – spotted, horns, udder
3. Pig – round body, snout, small tail
4. Giraffe – long neck, spots, ossicones (horn-like structures)

#### Right Side (Babies):
1. Spotted cow – small, similar to adult cow
2. Giraffe – small, long neck, spots
3. Baby elephant – smaller version of the adult elephant
4. Baby pig – small, round, snout

Step 2: Match Each Parent to Its Baby

Now, let’s match them:

1. Adult Elephant → Baby Elephant
- The baby elephant is the one with the small trunk and smaller size.
- Already drawn with a dashed line — correct!

2. Cow → Spotted Cow (baby)
- The baby cow has spots like the adult and is smaller.
- So, draw a line from the cow to the spotted baby cow.

3. Pig → Baby Pig
- The baby pig is small and looks just like the adult pig but smaller.
- Draw a line from the pig to the baby pig.

4. Giraffe → Baby Giraffe
- The baby giraffe is smaller, with a long neck and spots.
- Draw a line from the giraffe to the baby giraffe.

Final Matching:

- Elephant → Baby Elephant ✔ (already done)
- Cow → Baby Cow
- Pig → Baby Pig
- Giraffe → Baby Giraffe

---

Summary:

You should draw lines as follows:
- From the cow to the small spotted cow (top right).
- From the pig to the small pig (bottom right).
- From the giraffe to the small giraffe (middle right).

> Note: The elephant is already matched correctly.

This activity helps children learn animal families and recognize similarities between parents and offspring.
