Wednesday Week in Review: Zoo

Race to 20.

We used penguin mini erasers from Target.

I flipped the middle part of the table upside down so we could keep the dice on the table...

Little People Zoo

Here are the cookie cutters from the Zoo play-doh! set.

My 4 year old was insistent that we show the knife too lol

They make puzzle piece animals.

With those textured rollers.

We put together snap-cubes.

We did the grid game from Play To Learn Preschool.

We aren't quite to matching upper to lowercase, so I wrote 

on the puzzle grid the matching uppercase.

 I got these from Morning Work Tubs.

I may have gotten the ice cream scissors for me 

but I did let him use them for this 

Zoo Cut and Paste activity 

This is what happens when you don't read the book first lol

whoops!

At the Zoo
