Today was a rainy day. It was completely down pouring! We decided to make some farm animals. It just so happens that we live on a dairy farm, with a few chickens. And when "Super Monkey Mom" is your mom.... you just know that the animal are going to be anything but just the usual. We traced a plate and a book. Then I cut out some black spots for the cows and some wings and combs for the rooster. Then it was up to the monkey children to use their imagination and create a "Wacky Farm Animal." They turned out great! We had glue and construction paper everywhere, even in monkey boys hair! How he managed to do that I'll never know! Monkey girl came up with a new animal..... A Rooster Cow! Chickens everywhere beware! Rooster Cow may be invading your barnyard soon! You can do all sorts of things with this craft. You can make a triangular horse, a rectangular pig.... the ideas are endless! And it's a great way to get younger children to practice their shapes. Various colours could be used too. Maybe you'll make a purple triangular barn cat, or green hexagon sheep. Experiment and see what you come up with. You too can have your very own Wacky Farm Animal.
