This activity book is designed for children in the fourth and fifth grades. It teaches them about the role of a real snow ranger, the use of rescue dogs, and the continued importance of wildfire prevention during the winter. Projects include making snowshoes similar to those once used in some Native American cultures and creating frozen bubbles. This colorful publication's outdoor and indoor activities highlight themes such as safety, wildlife, winter ecology, recreation, and the joy of winter fun. When children complete the activities in the book, they are encouraged to submit the included form to become official Junior Snow Rangers and receive a banana, patch, and ID card.
