Teaching Animals Sounds

This is a good resource to teach a few things related to animals and animal sounds. Here are some ideas using 2D or 3D, or yet written words (animal name or sound), especially if the child likes to play and listen to the sounds. But the reinforcer could also be to play with the animals if using 3D or any other combination depending on what the child likes.
