Best Pet Hair Vacuum Ever!

Shark liftaway vacuum for carpets and floors

Truly. I mean it. Read about how I found it and why I love it so much!

My story: BEST PET HAIR VACUUM EVER!

These fur babies were part of the quest. Yellow Labs produce more fur than any dogs I have ever had the privilege of knowing! LOL

Big Lexi and little sis Sadie.

Now, here is a NEW one. I only just saw it and have read the details. What I love about it is the microscopic deep cleaning it does, especially on hard floors. See the green light? It helps you find even the smallest hairs and particles that you would normally miss with the naked eye. I will always be a Shark upright user … it is still my “go to!” However, this is cordless and you can clean up in a jiffy. I think I would like to have this Dyson V15 Detect, too! Check it out!

Enjoy!

Z is for Zoo Preschool Craft

5 Comments

Our final day of preschool was filled with “last day” activities but, to my delight, we did manage to make room for this very fun activity for the Letter Z is for Zoo.

This book is a favorite of teachers – big fascinating ANIMAL book!

The day started out with a guessing game where everyone volunteered kinds of animals that THEY had seen in a zoo. I printed many photos of the likely candidates and, as the children shared, we displayed the corresponding picture.
Later that day, during craft time, we made our own little “zoo” with animals that can be seen through the bars of the cage. I wanted them to have something memorable for the letter Z to take home.

Preschool Zoo Craft

zoo; zoo animals; jungle animals, preschool craft; kids crafts

Supplies

Cardstock

Zoo cage template
-free printable below-
Crayons

Zoo animal stickers

Pipe Cleaners

Scissors

Glue stick
Scotch tape

Single Hole Punch
Pointy knife*
Laminator (optional)

*PARENTS: for safety please do the cutting of the window for the zoo yourselves…or at least start it… for your little one. I started in the corner of the window. You can do all of the cutting or make that first cut and turn it over to your child, who should use the round-tipped child safe scissors, to complete it.

Deep Cleaning Dyson V15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum!

Great for every kind of dirt … even the hardest-to-see … check out the green light!

Zoo animals? Safari animals? They come with a play mat.

Directions

Print the template onto a piece of cardstock.
Fold the cardstock in half with the “zoo” side showing.
Cut out the square in the middle.
Punch holes where the circles are.
Glue pictures or stickers of animals on the part that you can see through the window.
Color the outside of the zoo.
String pipe cleaners from hole to hole across the opening to make bars for the zoo cage.
Scotch tape the zoo “closed” using small pieces of tape on each side.

Adorable preschool lesson for the letter Z! Z is for Zoo. They will love the craft! #zoo #animals #craft Share on X

preschool, kids crafts, zoo, jungle animals, zoo animals

Tip: I had some animal stickers on hand. What I lacked were enough jungle animals to make this craft special. So, I made a page using clipart of tigers and elephants, plenty so that each student would have them for their zoo cage as well. I printed the animals on cardstock for durability and laminated them but laminating is not necessary for the success of the craft.

Tip: If you do not have animal stickers, you can use animal crackers!
