Point Pelee’s Marsh
Point Pelee
Turtles rest on a log in the marsh. Cattails grow beside the water. A boardwalk lets visitors observe this little world.
Did you know?
Point Pelee is the southernmost point of mainland Canada.
Look together
Which shapes can you find on the shells?
An idea to try
Draw a shell using large polygons, then choose a colour for each one.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The Marsh Boardwalk crosses a wetland in Point Pelee National Park. Parks Canada identifies it as a place to observe turtles and birds. The drawing brings together features of this habitat; it does not identify a particular turtle species. We can watch animals without touching them.
