Other Details
Parental Guidance
Younger children may need a little parent support with cutting the slit in the ocean picture for the craft (aka "popsicle") stick puppets to go through and possibly with cutting out and gluing animal pictures on the craft sticks.
Supply List
Students will need the printouts that will be supplied (There are two pages, but you only need to print ONE page. There is a lighter page to save on ink or a page with a darker outline). Students should have something to draw and color with (markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc.). Popsicle sticks, scissors, and glue or tape are also needed. (Animal cut outs can be attached to plastic straws or pencils if popsicle sticks are not available).
1 file available upon enrollment
