Nocturnal vs Diurnal Sorting Activity

As I was laying with Bear, waiting for her to fall asleep, she started talking.

Bear - Aminals sleeping now.

Me - Some animals are sleeping now. But some animals sleep during the day.
Five minutes elapse. I am almost asleep, thinking Bear is almost asleep too.
Bear - Some aminals sleep day.

Me- Yes, they are called nocturnal animals, Bear. Like bats and owls, and well, I'd have to look the other ones up.

Bear - On compooter.

Me - (chuckling at the fact that my 2 year old knows that we can look stuff up on a computer) Yes.

Bear - Aminal cutting activity?

And so the following activity was born.

I found these animal pictures, saved them to my computer and put them in a Word document so they'd be larger. I printed this out.

I took a yellow piece of construction paper and glued a black piece of construction paper over half the yellow one.

Voila! A nocturnal vs diurnal sorting activity.
I would have cut the animal cards apart, but Bear really wanted an "aminal cutting activity." I was actually very impressed at how well she cut and how she painstakingly lined up all the little cards to glue them.
