Tracks, Camouflage, and Hibernation

I put potato flakes in the sensory table with animals with white and brown fur to explain the concept of camouflage. I also hung pictures of animals whose fur changes according to the season. 

We read the book Bear Snores On  by Karma Wilson. I added props to the house area that match what is in the book. The children can reenact the story using the book and props. 

This is a cast of a bear and moose track taken in the woods in Waterbury. The children can look at the animal and the tracks. There are also card for the children to play a track matching or memory game.
