This picture was taken at Hoogle Zoo and was her favorite thing there.
We first colored our Itsy Bitsy T Book with crayons. My mom had a book of new crayons. I forgot how nice it is to color with new crayons.
Then we painted paper plates to make a tiger. Hailey loves paints. I had a cup of water and paper towels to clean the brush before she switched colors.
I cut out the stripes, eyes, ears, and nose and Hailey pasted them on her plate. Hailey was entertained with this craft for a long time. An apron is necessary when dealing with paints.
After we were done making our tigers, I showed her pictures of the tigers we saw at the Omaha Zoo. Kyle likes white tigers.
We read "Tiny Tiger" by Barbara deRubertis. It's about a shy tiger who ends up making friends. I also got "Mother to Tigers" by George Ella Lyon from the library. It's based on a true story about a woman who took care of baby animals in her apartment. It has beautiful pictures but Hailey was done with Hailey School when we started that book.
I was also able to take this picture at the Omaha Zoo.
