The world is a big place. It has 7 continents, 195 countries, 10,000 cities, 7,139 languages, 50 seas, 2.13 million species of animals, including mammals, birds, and reptiles. Most adults haven't been to most of these countries, or seen the birds, animals, or ecosystems that live there. There's a whole world out there and most of us just live in our bubble of what we know – and there's nothing wrong with that. Imagine how vast the world is for a learned adult, what must it feel like for a child? For a 4 year old kid who is only seeing everything for the first time. The curiosity must be pulsing through their veins at all times! They want to know everything about everything.

So when you're a first time parent, it can be grating to hear constant questions about things you forgot you ever wondered about. 'Why is the sky blue?' or 'How come we have 5 fingers on each hand?' They often stump us with questions we fail to answer. But here's something you can teach them to mitigate their curiosity – facts! Cute, curious, wholesome facts about animals and the world to satisfy their hunger for learning and create a smart and studious kid. Redditors are here to discuss the interesting things you can teach your 4 year old (and also yourself) about the wonders of our planet Earth.
