Several months ago, before the quarantine, my daughter and I went to a swap meet.  We had such a fun time buying yummy food and shopping for things we needed.  People were pushing strollers, pulling wagons and carrying bags full with all of their purchases.  As we turned down another isle, my daughter quickly spotted a woman carrying a large and beautiful yellow snake.  What fun it was when the kind lady asked if we wanted to touch the snake.  It felt smooth and soft!  It was our first time touching a snake.  We were excited and nervous at the same time.  She told us that a snake's skin doesn't always feel so smooth.  She explained to us that snakes shed their skin.  This make me curious!  Why do snakes shed their skin?  What do you think?  Let's find out together!

You never shed your skin all at once, like a snake. But you do shed bits of skin all the time. Where does that skin go? Why don’t you see it all over your home? It’s okay if you’re not sure. Take a guess. Draw a picture of what you think happens to the bits of skin that you shed.
