Camp Fun: Zoo Explorers Week

Camp Fun: Zoo Explorers Week

Get ready for one wild week! We’re going to be Zoo Explorers for this week of Camp Fun. We’ll take a trip to the zoo to find animals in our zoo passport books and have lots of pretend play fun at home with zoo animal masks and animal hand puppets. Campers will get to let their imagination go wild by decorating their own wood safari animals to create their own mini zoo at home! Follow along with our Summer Camp Fun Series.

Now you can be totally ‘sloth’-some with this DIY Sloth Backpack.  Simply download, print and cut out the free printable sloth backpack templates.  Trace the templates onto brown felt sheets and cut out.  Use acrylic paint and paintbrushes to paint on the sloths features.  Put a sheet of scratch paper inside a DIY Medium White Canvas Backpack so that the paint will not soak through to the other side and paint the body of the sloth.  Glue the felt head, feet and claws onto the backpack.  Now all there’s left to do is to fill the bag with fun goodies for a lazy day of hanging out.
