Our art study worksheets are a great way to get children looking at famous pieces of art. This one has a rhino theme and asks the children to look at The Rhinoceros by Albrecht Dürer. The history of this piece is particularly interesting. Dürer had never actually seen a rhino but he had heard a description of one so it is not an accurate depiction. However, it was very popular and many people in Europe believed that this was a true representation of a rhinoceros.
Do you have budding zookeepers in your house? Ask them to imagine they will be looking after rhinos in their zoo and need to research how to keep them happy and healthy.
Find out where rhinos are native and colour in the countries on this map.
There are five species of rhino so older children might like to make a key and show where the different species of rhinos can be found.
After reading our Rhino Fact Sheet, ask the kids to read through our statements and decide whether they are fact or fiction.
