Snowshoe Hares

Arctic hares are incredibly stealthy and clever.  They are known for their ability to camouflage during the winter months by shedding their blue-gray fur and growing white fur to hide in the snow.

They eat berries, bark, grasses, and moss that can be found in the area surrounding the Arctic tundra.

They generally live in groups ranging from 20-300 hares and travel in packs.  This offers protection to the group.  Generally, the arctic hare searches for food within a one-mile radius of where it lives.

Kindergarten students made arctic hares by exercising specific fine motor skills including tracing, cutting, coloring, and drawing.  They learned how to draw 6 pointed snowflakes and embellish them with repeating patterns.
