Desert Animal Cut and Paste Sort

My daughter loves learning about animal facts and then telling them to me. One of her favorite sets of animals (besides rainforest animals is desert animals. Being the mommy that I am, I wanted to see how much she knew about where animals live. I also wanted to help her work on her fine motor skills and so I created this fun Desert Animal Cut and Paste Sort for her.
