Hibernation: Did you know?

K is for Koi!

Painting, slowly and meticulously!

She shares; "I never heard of a Koi Fish."

We learn something new EVERYDAY!

I have to say, I love when the little tongue comes out because it means, this is some serious business I'm working on here! LOL

Spoken honestly, "I love preschool!"

L is for Lemur

Hibernation: Did you know?

The Fat Tailed Lemur hibernates too. They use the reserved "fat" in their tails to provide themselves with nutrition while they sleep.

Our hibernating theme was a big hit this past week. We made a "stuffed bear". The process was so much fun. So, to continue the question.....

"Did you know?"

Bears can hibernate up to 6 or more months. They eat lots of food before its time to hibernate. They then slow down their heart rate and breathing and find a safe and warm cave or den to sleep until food begins to grow again during the spring months.

Never wake a sleeping bear, they may be grouchy!

Adding embellishments to her little bear. We continued and colored a back outline too. Once dried, we stapled the two together, all while stuffing the insides with poly-fill. Then we painted a bear cave. When it dried, we cut an opening and added our little bear. This was so much fun!
