One thing that the children really noticed in the forest is how the animals are hard to find. They can hear chirps, rustling in the bushes but they do not see anything. On our walk one day, we heard a tapping sound and wondered who was making that sound. Using our ears, the children followed the direction where it was coming from and they found it! It was a woodpecker! The children noticed that it was perfectly blended into a tree that it was pecking. If it wasn't for the pecking sound, we would have never seen it. Molly said: "The woodpecker is camouflaged! It's trying to protect himself."

| Can you find the frog? |
To see how animals use plants to camouflage themselves, we played an I Spy game. The children used their keen eyes to spy the camouflaged animals in different pictures. They were able to see all but one! Can you help us?

For art, the children painted a forest scene on a canvas and camouflaged an animal of their choice.
