They did an activity where they each got a card with some fact on it and then they had to figure out which animal it went with. Some were pretty simple, but there were a few more difficult to figure out.
They made puzzle out of popsicle sticks. I really liked this idea. The sticks were taped together in a "raft". The kids drew pictures of animals on them and then you took the tape off and had to put your animal back together. I think this activity would great for any topic.
After a yummy snack, the kids went outside and played games. The one had the kids running all over. Each child was given a toy and had to find the other child that had a match...two tigers, two horses, etc. You can see that Gabe and his friend Ben were thrilled to have the same animal.
Creation Club was a great activity for out guys this summer. It only met once a month which made it very doable for us. We were so glad that the H family included us in their special summer time kids club.
