Craft:

Glue a large circle onto a piece of paper. Have the children add legs, neck, and head to create the zoo animal they like best!

Cut out large circles from cardstock (roughly the size of an adult sized fist) have the kids decorate them to look like the paw or foot or flipper of their favorite zoo animal!

Songs:

If you're happy and you know it

If you're happy and you know it give a roar

if you're happy and you know it give a roar

If you're happy and you know if, a lion just has to show it,

If you're happy and you know it give a roar

(Insert other zoo animals)
