Today is Ground Hog Day. Since it falls on a school morning, the local park and zoo offered a groundhog program yesterday. All I have are some phone snapshots, but I'm eager to get back into blogging mode after the long work period and holidays, so...
Eli and his buddy, Niels, made a groundhog cookie.
Here is the template -- Vienna Sandwich Cookie (Keebler) body, M&M ears, frosting eyes and nose, plus a chopped mini marshmallow for teeth.
Eli decided to be non-conformist and made a groundhog face.
Now on to making a groundhog mask...
Again the non-conformist, Eli decided to use the whiskers as long teeth.
See the resemblance? (Eli's school has been helping to raise money for a new groundhog habitat at the zoo. We told the groundhog that we're working on new digs for next year!)
By the way, did you know that it takes the wingspan of two kindergarteners to equal the wingspan of a bald eagle?
Happy Groundhog Day! Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil ground said six more weeks of winter while Georgia's General Beau predicted an early spring. We'll see who is right.
