Giraffes on parade.

This week at Homespun Daycare I have been teaching a zoo theme. 

Today I googled giraffe templates. I printed and cut them out and set them 

aside. The kids love finger painting, and I love finger painting on cookie sheets.

(not only does it keep the paint contained it makes interesting prints). 

I found my cookie sheets at the dollar tree. I put yellow paint and a dab of red 

paint on each cookie sheet.Its always fun for the the kids to see their paint mix

up as they finger paint and create a new color! After they were done painting I laid

 the giraffes on the tray and gently pressed them into the finger painted design.
Then  I lifted them out and let the kids fingerprint brown spots on their  

giraffes.They finished up by adding  a googly eye. Each giraffe  looked so 

cute all lined up, ready for a parade!
