Homeschool Preschool: African Safari

Our preschool project last month was a focus on African animals, so of course we went on a safari!  I found some cute things on Currclick, a unit called “continental hop.” 

Here is ds’s suitcase and passport.  Super cute!  The suitcase is actually a file folder, and he kept all his essential materials for the safari in it.

Such as this safari guide!  To the right of the guide you see his map of Africa where we tracked our travels.

Here is the inside of the guide.  Each animal had their own page where we recorded their home, food, and interesting facts.

I had ds do worksheets related to the letters of each animal’s name.  Here he is working on his E’s for elephant.

At Crayola.com I found a cute giraffe craft for ds.  He painted the patterns, we glued them to some recycled cereal box, cut the pieces out and voila!  A cute giraffe to play with.

Here, ds shows how the giraffe eats, uh, my herb garden?  Hey!

Here are a few more links to help you on your own safari adventure.
