Camouflage Challenge

Your child hides natural objects in plain sight, times how hard they are to find, and works out the real rules of camouflage, the survival trick animals use every day. Part hiding game, part real experiment, ending with a rule they proved themselves and a hunt for camouflage in the wild.
