Pretend Play: Zookeeper

For zoo week we had several opportunities to play zookeeper!

Use plastic animals, kitchen items, colored rice, dirt, rocks, etc. to make a zoo.

Make playdough zoo cages with popsicle sticks (wearing a safari always helps as well).

Not pictured: Make a zoo with stuffed animals and boxes.  Make sure to feed the animals!

Pretend Play: Doctor

Pretend play is an important part of our day.  Doctor is always one of our favorites...it just happened to be our theme this week!  While doctoring Texas Bear she said we needed to do an x-ray because bear broke his leg.  It is great to see what their imaginations come up with (may have helped that we've been talking about x-rays this weeks).  Included in our doctor box is a set from Fisher Price, old medicine droppers, an Ace bandage, cotton pads, Q-tips, tweezers, Popsicle sticks (tongue depressors), a little mirror and now an x-ray of a bear.  We are always on the lookout for more to add!
