Animal Tracks

Have you seen this before? It is a neat little kit that teaches children how to observe and learn from animal tracks, explaining what can be understood by marks on trees, food scraps, and foot tracks and includes six accompanying molds that contain the pawprints of six animals - mink, red squirrel, rabbit, deer, gull and crow. E worked on them yesterday. Made tracks on homemade playdough and we had three period lessons with them. In Spring we can go to the trails and pour plaster of paris on the tracks left behind by animals. :-)
