Here are instructions for this month’s suggested project.

MAKE A ZANY ZOO PAL!

1. Gather magazines, old books, photographs, coloring books, and such than can be cut in pieces.

2. Have kids select 3-6 animals and cut them out.

3. Have kids cut the animals into pieces to separate main body parts (for example, head, body, tail, wings, legs, etc).

4. Mix up the animals, rearrange the pieces, and glue them onto a piece of paper to make a new, silly animal.

5. Have the children name the animal.

6. Instruct kids to write about the new animal (to the degree that their skills dictate). Also depending on their ability, you may require them to address the animal’s habits, habitat, and other ecological traits based on the collection of parts.

Have fun!
