Zoo Tots


Lennox has been going to the Jacksonville Zoo each week this summer for their Preschool Zoo Tots class. Each week there is a different topic. Last week he learned about animals with fur and worked on distinguishing between animals that have fur and animals that have feathers or scales. Lennox got to touch a bunny rabbit and a chinchilla. He was also able to play around with fur from gorillas, lions, and monkeys. 

This week we learned about feathers. He got to check out a dove up close and touch a Polish Fancy Chicken. Lennox also got to feed the chicken. Then he got to check out feathers from parrots, hawks, and egrets. The class always ends with a craft. This week Lennox made his own feathery friend, a cotton ball chick in an eggshell :-)



Afterwards we changed into our swim clothes and Lennox ran around the water play park!
