Camouflage is such a fun concept to talk about with children. The idea that animals play hide-and-seek with us and other animals is a fun one to explore.
Some of us played a game of Camouflaged Critters. The children pretended to be hungry birds looking for their lunch in the grass. Scattered, colored pieces of yarn were spread across the grass as worms.
We learned that it would be much safer
to be the brown worms. :)
Other friends made beautiful artwork to
demonstrate how camouflage works.
Even playing a good old-fashioned game of hide-and-seek can help us understand how camouflage works.
A game of "Thicket" was a great way to play in
the woods and learn about camouflage.
First, one person counted to 10...REALLY LOUD!
Then, we ran to hide in the woods.
Can you find us in the pictures below?
Sometimes, even people can be camouflaged!
Great post Wendy! What a fun concept to explore with the kids!
