Stories in the Snow

Winter
Soft snow is the perfect page on which thousands of stories are told, written by the passage of animal feet in their daily search for food and shelter. We use authentic track makers and castings of real animal feet to help your students understand the vocabulary of tracking. These are wonderful stories waiting to be followed, for those eyes sharp enough to read them!
