animal-palooza week!

make something monday: animal shirts
we decorated tshirts with animals using a bleach pen. old navy had shirts on the cheapie cheap ($5!) and i got a bleach pen at target. you never know what color the bleach will turn the shirt... bleach is weird like that, so it's kind of a fun surprise. i printed out simple cartoon animals of whatever animal the kids chose, so they could have some drawing inspiration. if your shirt is a light color you can pre-draw with a pencil and bleach pen over it. so fun! also... this was a pinterest idea. jaw-dropping news, i know. 

time to read tuesday: animal books
the library had a few bajillion options in the animal department.

we're going out wednesday: woodland park zoo
i love the zoo, but sometimes i start to feel like... "oh are we big jerks (like humans in general) for caging these wild animals and forcing them to live in confinement for our amusment?" but then i just decided... whatever. they don't know any different. maybe they love it. probably not, but i still like going.  


















that's delicious thursday: homemade animal crackers
so adorable. you just need some teeny tiny animal cookie cutters.

fun outside friday: farrel-mcwhirter farm park
it's like a free zoo with farm animals. fun.
