Making tracks
Time: 5-20 minutes
Materials: Sponges etc (optional)
Activity: Notice that when animals cross the snow, they leave tracks. Different animals leave different tracks.On fresh light snow, have kids walk across an area. What do they notice about how the tracks match how they walk? Can we tell how big everyone is from the size of their tracks? Line up and run across an area. How are the running tracks different from the walking tracks? Optional: Cut wildlife track shapes out of sponges and glue them to pieces of sturdy cardboard. Use these prints to make tracks in the snow.
