Junior Ranger, Jr. Activities

Children ages 3-6 can earn a Junior Ranger, Jr. badge by completing wildlife activities at home with an adult. Each Explore page includes a wildlife craft, sound recordings, an animal behavior to act out, and an outdoor discovery challenge. Do some or all of the activities on each page.
