Activity
Look for animal tracks in mud, sand, or snow near your home, using a guide to help identify prints like birds, squirrels, or mice. Ask questions about the size, direction, and number of tracks, and create stories about what the animals were doing.
Materials
You can explore animal tracks without any materials, though a simple field guide or photos of animal tracks are fun to bring along if you have them!
Skill Building
Tracking helps children explore local wildlife, build curiosity, and better understand the animals that share their environment.
