Hluhluwe Safari - South-Africa

My third weekend trip was a Safari in the park HluHluwe (pronounce: SluSluwe).

I did see the complete Big Five: Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard.

Here some pictures:

Continent box Antarctica #2 life at the continent

Hallo travelers,

We're going back to the cold south today to look at the animals at Antarctica. With the freezing cold at the continent there aren't many animals, a few birds, seals and whales.

I'm trying to collect lots of different (plastic) pinguïns and other animals, but it isn't going fast so far. I decided also to make cards (A6 size) with pictures and names of the animals. I searched the internet (google) for nice pictures of six different pinguïns (Adelie pinguin, King pinguin, Emperor pinguin, Gentoo pinguin, Rockhopper pinguin, Macaroni pinguin)

I also looked for pictures of diffrent mammals that live in the sea, ten different seals and whales.

I printed the cards and laminted them to put in my continent box.

Here my mammal cards.

Continent box Africa #2 Animals

Hi Tigers

Well that's just a word joke to introduce the next subject: African animals in my continent box.

Africa is known for its big and megificant animals but also for its deadly, fast and weird animals.
So far I have seen the camels and small crocodiles and many different birds. But last Sunday arrived in South-Africa for a two month stay and off course I will go on safari where i hope to see zebras, elephants, giraffes, wilde beast and many more.

In my continent box I have different ways of collecting the African animals. I'll show you.



A plastic camel, lion cub, jaguar, vulture and a stone elephant.

And these cards. A selection form a supermarket collection "Super Animals" sponsort by the WNF (WWF)

DIY: pinguins out of toilet paper rolls

Last week I made different Zoo animals with the kids. We used toilet paper tubes to make the animals.

I think I liked the pinguïns the best. So here a few examples.

It is really easy. Roll a piece of black paper around the tube. Cut out a piece of white for the belly of the pinguin. with orange you make two feet and a beak and with black again two wings.
Off course you can make it as difficult as you wish.

To make a few different pinguïns look up some pictures and use them as example.

DIY: 3D-Lizard

We're going to make a 3D-Lizard in this blog.

I've been a little lazy making this blog and didn't make much photo's while making my lizard. So I'll be linking you to two other blogs where you can find a step by step picture instruction.

First we're going to make the 3D-lizard head.
you nead two square pieces of paper (you can pick the color)
I found a blog named ElemanteryYartFun with instructions. here you'll find a step by step instruction.
When you finished the head you can decorate it with a tongue and eyes. Or even with spikes and more.

Now we're going to make the body of the lizard. You'll find the instructions on Artolazzi blog. Note that you have to read from the bottom to the top of the blog.
Make sure you color it before gluwing it together.

Hope you have lots of fun making your own lizard!
