ZOOs

What You Need:

- Toy zoo animals
- Boxes
- Polystyrene cups
- Scissors
- Poster or acrylic paints
- Drinking straws
- Sticky tape
- Small pieces of plants
 

What To Do:

If your children haven't visited a zoo take them along.

After the visit help them make a zoo in the sandpit.  Help them cut holes in the boxes and cups to make animal homes and they will enjoy painting them.  Next, sticky tape the straws together to make fences for the zoo.

Use a piece of card to smooth down paths for the visitors to walk on and add the plants and flowers to make gardens.  Help the children fill the lids with water and bury in the sand to make ponds and drinking pools for the animals.

Arrange the animals in the zoo and leave the children to have a great time playing with their sandpit zoo.
