What are young ones? (animals and their babies are called)
The young ones of animals are their babies. In English, many baby animals have a special name: a baby cat is a kitten, a baby dog is a puppy, a baby sheep is a lamb. In Hindi, a few babies have their own words, like बछड़ा (calf), पिल्ला (puppy), मेमना (lamb), शावक (cub) and चूज़ा (chick). For most animals, Hindi simply says "the animal's baby", such as हाथी का बच्चा. So in Hindi, learning this topic is easy, and in English it is a fun new set of words.
What your child can learn at each age
| Age | Realistic goal | Good starting pairs |
|---|---|---|
| 2-3 years | Understands "mummy and baby"; points to the baby animal | Cow and calf, dog and puppy, cat and kitten, hen and chick |
| 3-4 years | Says 5-8 baby names in English | Add sheep and lamb, horse and foal, duck and duckling, lion and cub |
| 4-5 years | Matches 10-15 pairs; plays the babies quiz | Add pig and piglet, goat and kid, frog and tadpole, kangaroo and joey |
| 5-6 years | Knows 20 or more pairs; reads and writes short names | Add owl and owlet, deer and fawn, swan and cygnet, goose and gosling |
Schools often teach animals and their babies for nursery, LKG and UKG, and again in class 1 and class 2, with more unusual names each year. This page grows with your child because the settings change how many choices appear.
How to play the animals and their babies game
- Listen: tap any animal and hear a full sentence, such as "A baby horse is called a foal."
- Babies: Golu asks "Whose baby is a cub?" and your child taps the right mother from 2-4 pictures. After each answer, Golu says the full line again.
- Memory: a matching game with pairs of cards. It is a calm way to review.
Mistakes are safe here: a wrong tap gets a gentle hint and never the word "wrong". Every round adds a marble to the Goli Jar, which your child can tap and count. The अ+A button in the header switches the language order. In settings, behind a grown-up check, you can set age, fewer choices, captions and calm sound.

How to teach animals and their babies at home
Children love this topic because it is about families, just like theirs. Try these short activities, 5-10 minutes each:
- Mummy and baby hunt: on a walk, look for a mother dog and puppies, a hen and chicks, or a cow and calf. Say both names.
- Family photo talk: show your child's baby photo and say "You were a baby. A baby cat is a kitten." It links the idea to their own life.
- Matching cards: print this page, cut out the pictures and play a matching game on the floor.
- Book time: find mothers and babies in any picture book and ask "Whose baby is this?"
- Act it out: you are the mother elephant, your child is the calf holding your "tail" as you walk around the room.
These animals and their babies activities for preschoolers also work well in a classroom circle time.
Animals and their babies chart and worksheet
The word list above works as an animals and their babies chart with pictures. There is no PDF file, but you can print this page from your browser. For a simple worksheet, draw two columns: mothers on the left, babies on the right, and let your child draw lines to match. For older children, write the baby names and let them copy them.
Gentle facts about baby animals
- A baby kangaroo, called a joey, is tiny when it is born and grows inside its mother's pouch.
- An elephant calf stays close to its mother for years, and aunties in the herd help look after it.
- A tadpole lives in water and slowly grows legs to become a frog.
- Ducklings follow their mother in a line.
- A foal can stand up soon after it is born.
In India, you may see calves at a gaushala, puppies on the street and chicks in a village. Children in other countries may meet lambs and ducklings at a farm park in spring. Our animals and their homes and animal sounds pages go well with this one.
Kind, inclusive learning
Keep it relaxed. If your child mixes up cub and calf, just say the right one warmly and move on. Praise effort: "You remembered the joey!" If your child gets tired, switch to Listen or Memory, or stop and cuddle a toy animal instead.
Children with speech delay can point or show "baby" with a rocking gesture. Autistic children may like the order of Memory and sorting pairs. In bilingual homes, both पिल्ला and "puppy" are welcome. If you are worried about your child's development, talk to your paediatrician.
Play together and keep it short. For under-2s, cuddly toys, real animals and books with a grown-up are better than a screen.
