Zoo Bath

This bath is a great addition to a zoo animals themed week or lesson plans. It doesn't take too much time to put together either!

You will need:

- Neon green food coloring

- Black crepe paper

- Black construction paper

- Tape

- Scissors

- Shaving cream

- Plastic containers

- Makeup brush or paintbrush

- Neon blue food coloring

- Green food coloring

- Animal paper cut outs from Dollar Tree

Fill up the tub with water and color it with neon green food coloring.

Cut strips of black crepe paper down to size for the outside of the tub area and tape them to it to look like cage bars at the zoo.

Cut out the word zoo out of black construction paper and tape it up in between the bars like I did in the picture.

Tape up the animal paper cut outs on the shower wall. Then make bath paint in green and neon blue, and paint little areas of grass or water underneath the animals for their habitats. 

Zoo Animals Word Wall

This is the first word wall I'm sharing! We usually do a word wall for each of our themes. Even before children can read they really benefit from being in a print rich environment. I like to use a pointer and read all the words each time we enter the classroom. So here's our Zoo Animals Word Wall

The animal cutouts were purchased from Dollar Tree. There were some other animals included in the pack and duplicates of each. Very worth the $1 they cost!

For the words I used index cards, a Sharpie, and funky scissors. I just write each word on a separate card and then cut them out. I had a title "Zoo Animals" and then the words were zebra, hippo, elephant, monkey, kangaroo, horse, giraffe, zebra, bear, penguin, sting ray, lion, and tiger. Your words might be a bit different depending on what's at your zoo.
