With a grown-up, look at a creek, pond, or water edge from a safe distance. Draw three things that could become part of a turtle’s world: a water plant, a log, and a shallow hiding place.
Then draw Rio’s route from the water plants to a sunny basking spot.
Think About It: Which parts of your drawing would help Rio find food, and which would help him stay safe?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Rio is not decorating the log. He is using it exactly the way a turtle is supposed to.”
This is what the printed page will look like.
