Mom has this video that we watched as kids get it from her -- but I cannot remember what it is called.. but we called it the bears bumping butts. (she will know what you are talking about if you call it by that!) It was about bears out in the woods and they didnt clean up their trash in the camp ground.. so the park ranger made them clean up and made up a catchy tune to sing while they cleaned up.. and the bears bumped their butts together while they danced...Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130092867948049158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29670423.post-1154021569210990112006-07-27T12:32:00.000-05:002006-07-27T12:32:00.000-05:00here is an idea for Australia... hide animals arou...here is an idea for Australia... hide animals around the house and go on a safari! Get the kids a disposable camera (you can get at the dollar store) and let them take pictures of the animals they find... and of course, get hide a couple of crocks for Noah to wrestle! For a craft they could make a safari hat to wear with the mess (tool)around it to go on their safari!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130092867948049158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29670423.post-1154021171605236712006-07-27T12:26:00.000-05:002006-07-27T12:26:00.000-05:00Hey.. a craft for Italy -- Make your own pasta!
