Activity Book for Smokey's Friends (Discontinued)

The adventure guide welcomes children to the world of the forest and gives them the opportunity to get involved with an array of fun and educational activities. Once the activities are completed, the child is encouraged to submit the card in the back of the booklet to the National Symbols Cache. When the card is received, the new Junior Forest Ranger is sent his or her official Junior Forest Ranger card and patch.

This activity book is designed for children in the fourth and fifth grades. It teaches them about the role of a real snow ranger, the use of rescue dogs, and the continued importance of wildfire prevention during the winter. Projects include making snowshoes similar to those once used in some Native American cultures and creating frozen bubbles. This colorful publication's outdoor and indoor activities highlight themes such as safety, wildlife, winter ecology, recreation, and the joy of winter fun. When children complete the activities in the book, they are encouraged to submit the included form to become official Junior Snow Rangers and receive a banana, patch, and ID card.
