Sunday School Petting Zoo

As most of you know I am the 4 and 5 year old's sunday school teacher at church. The best part about the job is decorating the classroom each quarter to coincide with the theme of the literature. Last time it was Bible Land (there is a blog about it) and this time it is a Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo. I just have to say that I love the Dollar Tree, I found so much good stuff there, like lady bugs for the picnic area, farm animal border for my bulletin board, stuffed bunnies that actually look like a bunny and not an Easter bunny, little chicks that actually walk and squeek, and much much more.

I have divided the room into three sections......

The Zookeepers Office, this is where the craft of the day takes place. In the office you will find, rules for the animals, bible memory verse chart, and supplies.

The Picnic Area, this is where our snack will be served. The picnic area is complete with trees, a pickett fence for attendance keeping, birds, and of course bugs.

And finally the Animal Display....what petting zoo would be complete without animals? We have horses, cats, dogs, ducks, bunnies, frogs, chicks, a handwashing station, bottles to feed the animals with, and of course food.

If any of you know anyone who is doing the Petting Zoo theme I would love to see pictures of their room.
