RELEVANCE
It's hard to imagine our life without pets. We are used to four-legged friends. They live nearby, give us their affection, warmth, affection, inspiring gratitude and kindness in our hearts. Therefore, developing a caring and caring attitude towards animals is of great importance in a child’s life. The animal world is extremely attractive; animals in the house are an important factor in education. This is not surprising, because every mother and every father wants their children to be kind, warm-hearted, and responsive. Chuck Palahniuk rightly noted: “Humanity is determined not by how we communicate with people, but by how we behave with animals.”
. By involving a child in joint activities to care for pets, adults develop in him sensitivity, the ability to understand other lives, encourage empathy, and cultivate a willingness to help in action.

- April 28, 2016
Conference “Project activity in an educational institution - 2016”

Currently, not everyone has the opportunity to keep pets in the house. And love for animals should be fostered in children from an early age. Therefore, the project allows children to expand their knowledge about animals kept at home; about their lifestyle, habits, characteristic external signs, to accumulate for the child personal experience in understanding the world around him.
