Zoo Week

A planned trip to the zoo inspired me to come up with fun ways to extend the fun of learning about zoo animals all week long for Emma. We got tons of books from the library about the zoo and watched a Signing Time DVD about the zoo to learn how to sign all the animals.

So on Monday we made zoo masks out of paper plates. She still won't let me take a picture of her wearing one though.

Tuesday we learned what continent certain animals live on and then matched animals crackers to the pictures. Emma had a lot of fun with this and looks at her map still.

Wednesday we went to the zoo with my friends Melissa and Jessica and their kids. Our first stop is always the big water ball.

Rhino!

We finally saw a tiger that was awake. He even walked down in front of the glass briefly.

Dallin, Emily and Emma in front of the T-Rex.

James and Lilly so tired, hot and upset that they can't get out and run around too.

The whole crew - James, Emma, Me, Emily, Dallin, Lilly, Melissa, Johnny, Daniel and Jessica.

Just monkeying around!



Friday Emma and I made binoculars and then went on a safari in our backyard.

Tons of fun.
