BibleMouse Science Explorers, today we're learning about special animals that need our help! Can you remember what we learned about taking care of God's creation?
Some animals are having trouble surviving in their homes. These are called 'endangered' animals. Just like we take care of our classroom pet, God wants us to help take care of all His creatures.

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll explore more ways we can be creation care heroes!
