Ice Age Explorer: Prehistoric Tools

Prehistoric Tools

There were no supermarkets in the Ice Age, so in order for people to eat, they had tools to hunt with. Nowadays we have lots of farmers that grow our food. These same farmers own a lot of the land where Ice Age Ponds are found and are very important people (VIP's) for keeping them safe!
