jungle
By Susan

There are so many things you can do with the jungle. Here are a few:
1. Use brown paper as backing and rafia or brown hula skirt for the top, to look like a hut. Write "information hut" on the roof. That's where all
the calendar, menu, etc... goes.
2. Buy animal print fabric (sometimes in the $1. stacks at Walmart) to make curtains and pillow cases (to make for easy washings). Use big body pillows in the reading corner.
3. Use similar animal print to cover under your computer table (or other tables that you want to hide what's under there!). Just hot glue it - looks wonderful!
4.

Make a large tree out of brown crumpled paper - let the vines be part of a word wall - add words throughout the year. The vines can go through your accoustical (sp?) ceiling.
5. Put similar vines over the reading corner area - and drape artificial vines/flowers over them.
6. Find some cute stuffed jungle animals to set around different areas (reading corner - kids like to hold them when they're reading - they can be thrown in the washer on the gentle cycle about once a month).
7. Helper chart - have a picture of a leopard and it says "Spotted... good helpers" with their names. Or use it for other things like "Spotted... good work" with good papers on it.
