Fuzzy and the Canal Cards

Fuzzy went through the Trent-Severn Canal with Nana and Papa. A canal is a stretch of water that connects 2 places. The Trent-Severn Canal connects Trenton and Port Severn and is 240 miles long and has 44 locks. It is in Ontario, Canada. Can you find it on the placemats Fuzzy sent you?

When Fuzzy went through the first lock the lock tender (that’s the person who runs the locks) asked him if he wanted to start collecting cards. They were giving out cards with pictures and information about animals, birds and plants in the canal area that are at risk of becoming extinct. Extinct means all gone, not any left.

Fuzzy said “yes”! He sure would like those cards. But he also said he had 4 cousins that he thought would like the cards too. Could he have more so that Jackson, Emma, Hunter and Hayden could have a set? (Halle is too small, she would just eat them!) Fuzzy was so pleased when the lock tender said yes!

Fuzzy asked at each lock and got 4 sets of 36 cards for all his cousins. Fuzzy will be home soon for a visit and will give them to you.
