Science in a Snap offers this activity where younger students (Kinder) are introduced to camouflage as an adaptation to help animals survive in their environment. This resource offers some basic background information along with a link to a fun and engaging video describing camouflage across different species (fish, insects, mammals, etc.). The materials involved can be easily found around the home (crayons, paper, and scissors) and the instructions are clear and concise. In addition to creating their landscape and animal, students are tasked with making observations and comparing them to their predictions.
