WEEK #5: Safari Stories
SHOW DAY: The Sofa Safari Game Show
What animal eats upside down? Can you pronk like a springbok? What animals never fart? These questions and more will be answered during Sofa Safari, the interactive game show that takes you on a safari without leaving your sofa!
CRAFT DAY: Flashlight Safari
A zip lock bag, black and white construction paper, and permanent markers are all that’s needed to make this project that’s part craft and part optical illusion.
ILLUSTRATOR DAY: David DePasquale
Illustrator David DePasquale will share his debut picture book A Wisdom of Wombats about the wonderful words we use to describe groups of animals. David is also the lead character designer on Arlo the Alligator Boy, a new Netflix movie available now! Grab a pencil and paper because David will teach you how to draw Arlo!
MASHUP DAY: A virtual visit with Jim Hammond, puppet master from THE LION KING.
Get ready for a roaring good time when Jim shares teaches us the five steps to becoming a fantastic puppeteer. Then you’ll learn how to make your own “hand puppet.”
GUEST DAY: Teachers of Nature
Every animal needs a superpower to survive. Cheetahs have speed, chameleons have camouflage and birds have flight. Meet real live animal superheroes in this “wild” program.
