This week it’s all animals all the time!
A week full of “Wild Things”… and I’m not talking just about my summer campers!
It’s special theme camp called “Wild Things” where all of our art projects are animal related.
Yesterday we made terra cotta animal masks! Today we took a field trip to Chicago’s
Lincoln Park Zoo for a little more inspiration. We split into two different groups and set off
to see the animals and do a little “quiz.” We all met up again for lunch – followed by some
drawing & watercolor painting of their favorite animals! Go figure…
After a long day at the zoo, my group was exhausted and ready to head home for the day!
My six kids and “assistant” Angela… while Gus was off with his group of kids.
Plus our favorite tag-along… Phineas!
He’s the son of our Summer Camp Coordinator at Lillstreet. He came to zoo with us
and his uncle. I don’t know if he was more excited about the zoo… or the bus ride?!
