This evening our local library held a reptile show for the kids so in gearing up for our outing we did a little art project beforehand. I printed off this sheet for him to color while I was prepping the pieces for our "snake." Find directions here for the snake and more snake ideas here. We did add a long yarn to his head so Jack could pull him around the house and we added the foam letters which are great b/c he's been spelling snake all evening. We practiced counting, colors, spelling and talked about the sound they make, that they are long, etc.
Now I know this photo is really bad but this snake was awesome. She brought a king snake, three different turtles (one a big snapping turtle), a huge bullfrog, a salamander, water monitor lizard, alligator, and this guy. Jack LOVED it. He jabbered about all the different animals the whole way home. I get all teary eyed when I watch my boy's eyes light up and get big and I can just feel the excitement oozing from him. I'd blame that on being preggers but no I'm really that sappy.
