Draw animal silhouettes onto some paint chips. Be sure to include general, but distinguishing characteristics of each animal. You can leave the figures blank or draw details.
Now is when the summertime spent eating popsicles will really start to pay off. Grab the wayward collection of sticks and glue or tape the sticks onto the silhouettes.
With Old Man Winter really coming through in a major way this year, this project could keep kids occupied for an afternoon, and then again before bedtime. Yes- this animal menagerie has dual roles: They can perform at a matinee, use a shoebox as the theatre. Then at night, bring the animals out again as an encore. Find a flashlight- because now is their time to shine as shadow puppets in a performance on the wall. This is a great activity to use in conjunction with the sheet tent you made while 'roughing it' during that recent indoor camping trip.
*RockStar Tip* Place the menagerie in a cup on the dining room table, it keeps kids occupied while food prep is underway.
