Animal Fair

Today I had the privilege of attending the Kindergarten Animal Fair. When they asked us to pick a few animals that Avery would like to learn about, Zebra was her #1 choice.  She has loved horses and zebras ever since she was very little.  She was so excited to be able to learn facts about zebra's, and make a zebra costume.  We had a lot of fun putting together this costume. Our creative juices were definitely flowing.  Who knew you could do so much with pipe cleaners and puff paint.  I even had to dig out my sewing machine that hasn't been touched in years to make the tail.  I think the tail was her favorite part because she had to hold it up for each picture.

Avery's teacher put a sticker on each of the animals to create a "button" for the animal to talk.  When the parents went around the room we would push each animals button to hear fun facts about the animal.  We had a lot of fun learning about these amazing creatures.

What a bunch of crazy animals.
