Print this page, trace the animal tracks, and then head outside together to see if you can spot any tracks along the sidewalk, at a park, or even on a tree. If you find some tracks, use this page as a guide to figure out which animal might have made them. Do they look like dog tracks? Could they be tracks from a bird?
Write, draw, and talk about what you observe. You might also take a picture of the tracks and find out which animal made them by looking them up online or in the library.
