Our Madness in March is...

Reptiles and Amphibians. In March we transform our dramatic play area into a swamp, we add a pontoon boat (the swamp boat made of cardboard boxes) and take swamp tours. We make different animals and eat them too. Here are a few things we have already done.


 We made alligator nests because alligator moms lay eggs in the muddy banks of rivers. We learned so much about alligators while doing this activity and it was pretty tasty too!
 We also turned a Trapezoid into an alligator (gotta sneak the academics in sometimes lol) and gave him triangle ridges down his back and triangle teeth of course. The legs were cutters choice.






And the Boat of course. I was the tour guide for the "Murky Water Swamp Ride"  first and the kids got a kick out of it. We're going to add life vests (brown grocery bags) next time.














Last but not least our toilet paper tube gators. They are just adorable!!
