Jungle Animals Everywhere!

We finished our Jungle week by creating "Jungle Art." The great thing about art, you can be creative and make it the way you want. We looked at some pictures of jungles and jungle animals to get some inspiration.

Then the kids created their own watercolor jungle scenes.

The kids worked so carefully and they each created a very unique jungle!

Bryn carefully painted pink stripes on her zebra and then covered them all with red. Will made black and brown spots on his. Lily liked the more traditional black stripes but added some pink and orange also. Amelia painted blue and purple stripes on hers because it is a girl. Zane and Stella both liked the blue striped look. Stella also created a soft comfy bed of leaves for her zebra. I wanted to take their pictures with their completed art work but many of them were still damp when it was time to go home.

For snack we ate Tiger Tails (carrots and ranch) and Zebra cakes. They all agreed that Zebra cakes are the best. Zane told everyone where to find them at Safeway so they could be sure to ask their mom's to buy some.

Then we were ready for a jungle safari! We divided into two groups. One group was assigned to find all the orange and green animals while the other group found all the brown and yellow animals. We braved the wind and went outside to search for the paper cut-out animals I had planted around the yard. The kids had so much fun and even asked me to hide the animals so they could find them again. The wind was getting stronger though so we went back inside.

We finished off our day playing hide and seek with a snake.
