Animal Track Stamps Craft
Animal tracks can tell quite a story. They can tell you where an animal has been and where it's going. Tell your own critter tales by completing the animal track stamps craft.
 Make animal track stamps. |
What You'll Need:
- Small blocks of wood (about 2x2x1)
- Adhesive moleskin (found in the foot care section of the drug store)
- Ink pen
- Field guide to animals
- Scissors
- Stamp pad
Step 1: Turn the moleskin to the paper side. With an ink pen, draw the outline of animal tracks. (Use the pictures in a field guide as patterns.)
Step 2: Cut out the shapes with sharp scissors, then peel off the paper backing.
Step 3: Stick the shapes onto a small block of wood. Press your stamp on the stamp pad and stamp away.
Try making a set of tracks that tell a story. You could show one animal following another, or space tracks farther apart to show an animal running. A cluster of tracks in a small area could show that the animal had found something to eat or something else of interest.
Now that you've explored using animal tracks to tell a story, use your creativity to make your own cardboard animal crafts. Learn how in the next section.
