Endangered Animal Activity Kit
Not for children under 3 years.
Teaching young people about endangered animals is a critical step toward enhancing awareness....and here's a really fun way to do just that!
Each child colors-in and cuts-out a sheet of plastic that we have specially printed with 4 endangered animals and a name tag. (Grizzly Bear, Great White Shark, American Alligator and Bald Eagle). An adult then bakes the project in an oven (or toaster oven) for about 1 minute. Shrink plastic are "magical" because after baking, plastic pieces shrink to approximately 1/3rd their original size, become 9 times thicker and colors intensify! Slip the included chain through the five pieces and there you have it - a keychain or backpack tag with a purpose!
Our exclusive activity guide provides all of the information needed to teach about endangered animals - even if the instructor has no previous knowledge on this subject. Ages 4 and up.
Unit Goals and Concepts:
- Learn about animals that are currently endangered.
- Discover ways to protect and save endangered animals.

- This kit has been updated to included information about 2 of the animals in this kit which are, thankfully, no longer considered endangered! We've added educational materials to facilitate discussions about why and how these 2 animal populations have improved.
