Clover’s Cover Map

Go outside with a grown-up and draw a simple map of the yard. Mark open grass, shrubs, tall plants, brushy edges, trees, and any quiet place where a rabbit could hide. Then draw a dotted route from a food spot, such as clover or grass, to a hiding spot. Make sure Clover never has to cross a long open space without somewhere to duck into. Think About It: Which parts of your map would feel safest to a rabbit, and why? Grandma’s reminder: “Clover does not need a pet name or a snack from your hand. She needs a quiet route from the grass to the brush.”
