BEAVER CRAFTS FOR KIDS: Ideas to make beavers with easy arts and crafts decorations, instructions, patterns, and activities for children, preschoolers, and teens

The beaver is the largest rodent in the world. You probably think of mice and rats as rodents, well beavers are also included in the rodent family. Beavers live in colonies (like a family) with the other beavers. They build dams to protect themselves from predators. Beavers are known for building Dams out of trees and braches within in rv ers / streams, in return creating ponds which are filled with deep and still water. They build dams by using logs and branches and then filling in the spaces with mud and weeds. Beavers are able to do this because they have teeth that never get worn down and feet that are webbed. They are quite unique creatures.
