Animal Scavenger Hunt
Our Animal Scavenger Hunt was planned primarily for Baby C
.http://kidsactivitiesblog.com/17352/outdoor-adventures-animal-hunt
We were planning so many more advanced games focused on Animal Tracks, that I thought throwing in this activity would be age-appropriate for her.
As it turned out, she had to be heavily coaxed to participate by her excited older sister.
When O was finished and exclaimed, "Let's do it again!!"
Baby C literally let out a long, loud *sigh*!
"Wait For Me!!"
I took a good step back and watched the team work in action!
O gifted Baby C a bucket to collect creatures and helped her climb hard-to-reach hiding spots!
Along with some Trail Mix Bracelets, we talked about what we could include in a Field Bag for exploration.
"Binocliers!"
"Camera"
"Tracks Books!"

O really enjoyed this read. On one page are some clues and a picture of the tracks.
The following page is the animal and some simple facts, written story-style.
Animal Tracks; Wild Poems to Read Aloud.
All of the poems are based on animals, though only a few touch on track-finding.
Birds in the Snow
We scatter seeds upon the ground.
And watch the birdies eat.
They make a mark of little stars
Beneath their tiny feet.
Tracks we found!
Bird Wings!
Birds (eating our seeds)
