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 our 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.
