Hoooo’s in the Trees?

Today we learned all about the different kinds of animals that live in trees. After learning that we have both conifers and broad-leafed trees in our yard, my children were excited to learn about the different “wild”-life that inhabited them. (lol, wild is in quotes because, really….how wild can a city squirrel get?)

Anyway, I was sitting there trying to figure out just how exactly we could come up with a craft about these adorable animals, and finally the idea struck! Why not pull out our trusty How to Draw 101 Animalsbook, and figure out how to even draw them. So after we found out how to draw the little buggers we decided that we needed to make trees for them to inhabit, and this was the best we could come up with. Yeah, it’s not one of those “Earthy” crafts that make you want to go trekking through the Oregon wilderness, but it’s definitely a keepsake craft…..I mean just look at those cute little branches!
