Zoo Day I

Friday was our monthly Zoo Tots class at the local zoo. They began the class by petting Monty the python that lives in a glass cage in the education building.

The theme for the class was animals and the alphabet so the zoo educator read them an animal alphabet book, they played Animal Bingo, did a craft, and played a game similar to musical chairs with letters and animals.

Mollie was mainly interested in snack time. For craft they colored a picture of a forest and glued animal crackers to it. I kept having to pry glue covered animals crackers out of Mollie's mouth. She was stealing them off other people's craft projects.

There "animal encounter" was with two animals not found at the zoo. A chicken named Pepper and a . . .

pygmy goat named Brown Sugar.

After all the kids had petted the goat, they let it go and let the kids chase it. It would go under the table to escape but the kids would just follow it under. Mollie loved this part.
