The principles of development science from concrete to abstract and from the known to the unknown shed light on both the developmental processes in which children are progressing and the characteristics of the opportunities that should be provided. In order for children to have knowledge and skills about nature and life, they need real experiences that build on their current knowledge. Children who encounter new information use skills such as comparison, relationship building and analogy in their thinking processes. In order to develop these skills, it is necessary to establish in-school and out-of-school processes that allow children to use their hands, that is, various motor skills, together with their minds. In this review, the field of biomimicry, one of the ways that can be used to support analogical reasoning, an important part of thinking skills, is examined. Biomimicry is a field of science that is thought to help children, who are an important part of ecology, gain a perspective that will enable them to continue their lives as individuals who learn deeply about the beings around them and contribute to the world. Within the scope of the study, suggestions for biomimicry practices in early childhood were shared.
