Fabulous Furballs!

Our little Sutton is obsessed, to say the least, with animals. So, when we heard that the Springfield Zoo had summer educational programs for her age, we immediately signed her up.

The first class we attended was called, "Fabulous Furballs," and if you could guess by the name, it had everything to do about mammals. The children were introduced and allowed to touch the various mammals they had on hand. Hands down, this was Sutton's favorite part!! She was so patient, waiting with her one little finger up,ready to touch any animal that passed by.



Next, they took the children into the classroom where they had tons of learning activity centers. There was an arts/crafts station, puppets, books, and sensory table. As you can see from the pictures, Sutton enjoyed the painting.








All in all it was a wonderful day and we are looking forward to the next session, "Big & Tall, Large & Small."
