We learned all about tigers this week and learned that they are very interesting animals! We had a great time comparing weights and lengths of the kids in our class to a tiger. We measured the length of a tiger using 12 x 12 paper and we compared our own weights to that of a tiger. We also added the children's various weights to see how many children it took to get the approximate weight of a tiger. Another interesting thing we did was see how many cans of food it would take to weigh as much as one average tigers meal. We also talked about tigers camoflauge. I made a grassy scene using green construction paper and then took orange paper with different patterns (spotted, plain, & striped). Next I stuck the patterned paper behind the "grass" and we observed which pattern blended into a tigers habitat the best. The kids favorite activity we did was pretend to be tigers crouching and pouncing on their prey.
