Free Printable Animal Tracks Explorer ID Cards

DIY Kids Printables

These printable free printable animal tracks Explorer ID Cards will be a great reference when searching for animal prints on the trail! The best place to find animal tracks are on soft muddy areas or shortly after a fresh rain!

We are a HUGE outdoorsy nature loving and geocaching family so searching for animals, their tracks, and even their scat is pretty normal for my kids! (One of our favorite books is Tracks, Scat, and Signs!) But I realize some kids need a little extra prompting to get outdoors or help properly identify animal tracks that they come across on a nature hike.

Below are a couple of images that you will find in the Explorer ID Cards set.

Animal Tracks featured in this set are as listed below:

Bear
Cat
Coyote
Crow
deer
Dog
Fox
Squirrel
Skunk

I HIGHLY recommend laminating these free printable cards with a simple at home laminator so that it will be water resistant and last longer outdoors. You can even use a hole punch and thread them onto a notebook ring. Stash them in a field bag along with any nature items or clues you come across! If you prefer a more digital version for identifying animal tracks consider the MyNature Animal Tracks app.

I love these so much!! Thank You!!!!!!

Wondering if there’s any way you could make additional tracks? I’m making both my kids a Nature Bag for our Cottage Summer and there’s a lot of Moose, Beavers and Rabbits in our neighbourhood. We see these tracks quite often as well! (I’m in Northern Ontario)

Thanks so much for these! I’ve printed them out, laminated them and put them together for my daughter to take with us on our upcoming camping trip! I’ve also shared your printable with my readers. Very grateful for your work and beautiful cards!

I absolutely adore this! I thought you might want to know though, the word ‘bite’ in the fun facts for beat is misspelled “bit”.
