![]() ![]() I highly recommend making your own, or trying one of these already made for you. I believe that I will continue to bring something like this for the Tree of Life on our trips as it makes such a huge difference. We even took time to sit down in front of the tree and just relax while they looked together. The kids were not whinny about being bored, but instead were engaged and working together to try to find animals on the tree. This was such an easy thing to bring with me, but I felt it made a big difference during this experience. I adjusted the sheet from our first trip where they couldn’t read by using more pictures to this time I had one with mostly words for our daughter and pictures still for our son. I also left places for them to fill in their own animals that we would come across but might not be on the sheet.īoth kids absolutely loved finding the animals on the tree and marking them off! On both trips the kids were extremely excited to find the different animals. Just like everything else at Walt Disney World Resort, the Tree of Life has a story. It gained the Tree of Life name on the 2003 DVD release of the film for its resemblance to the Disneys Animal Kingdom park icon. I tried to go from memory from previous trips as well as sticking to the bigger known animals and larger animals that I thought would be easier for them to find. The tree, which appears to be a large baobab tree, appears in every movie, as well as most merchandise inspired by The Lion King. My thought was this would keep them looking at the tree itself instead of everything else they might want to do or eat, which is usually the case.Īs you can’t really find a list of all the animals on the tree itself, I had to guess as to which ones to include. After thinking about it, I decided to create a seek-and-find sheet for them. ![]() ![]() I wanted to bring something along that would keep them interested in the tree itself and maybe, slowly start to appreciate the amazingness that is truly is. I love walking around the outside and discovering all the many different animals that are displayed throughout.Įven though I really enjoy this process, my kids (4 and 2 our first trip and now 9 and 6) I knew probably wouldn’t be as excited about strolling around a big tree. Whether you are a fervent reader of religious texts, fan of mythology, or frequenter of Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, in some way or another, you are probably familiar with the concept of the Tree of Life. While at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I always schedule time in our day to explore and take in this magnificent display of art. It has appeared prominently on merchandise and marketing for the park since it opened in April 1998. Right up there with Cinderella Castle is this amazing 145 foot sculpture that includes around 325 different animals carved into the trunk, roots and every branch of the tree. Just like the Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle, Epcot's Spaceship Earth and the now-removed Sorcerer's Hat in Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Tree of Life is the main icon for its home park, Disney's Animal Kingdom. The Tree of Life is one of the most breathtaking parts of any Disney park. ![]()
