Brrrr.....Polar Animals!

What a fun couple of weeks we have been having!  The kids have REALLY enjoyed learning about the different polar animals and how they survive in the freezing cold temperatures! 

For art we made some super cute penguins and walruses, they are ADORABLE!  We did some neat hands-on science too- we discovered how flubber keeps the animals warm and how the oil on the penguins feathers help repel water.  We also explored blue salt water and ice, learning how the salt water melts away ice burgs.  (I didnt bring my camera to school these two days so I don't have any pics!) During kinder-cafe we made some cute little oreo penguins one day and  yummy rice cake polar bears on another day.  Our classroom book we created was, "Our Favorite Polar Animals."  The kids had to write about their favorite polar animal.

 Here are some pics!

Oreo Penguin- 1 1/2 oreo cookie, 2 mini m&m's (eyes), 3 candy corn (beak and 2 feet), little dab of icing to "glue" m&m's and candy corn



Polar Bear- 1 plain rice cake, 2 slices banana (ears), 2 mini oreos (eyes), 1/2 regular size oreo (nose), coconut (optional) and white icing
