Jungle Animals as Door Decorations in Preschool

JUNGLE (ZOO) ANIMALS & EXCELLENCE

Are you ready for some serious early childhood EXCELLENCE? These images are 'hot' off of my memory card from just yesterday. It has been a road-trip sort of weekend. I had the opportunity to speak for ACSI in Chesapeake, VA. The event took place in the midst of an incredible ECE building, We gathered together at the Greenbrier Christian Academy.  

Walking into the preschool commons, I was greeted with these three amazing 'decorated' classroom doors. Currently the program is doing an "Around-the-World" theme. I learned at the end of the day, that the teachers change their door decorations in response to the season and or their theme. I also learned that this is the second year for these beauties to be used (and hence the lamination -- making them glorious from year-to-year.) 

I knew that you'd want to have a close up of each animal's "face"....... so I was focused in my photo taking, on your behalf. ENJOY! Be certain to look at the eyelashes from animal to animal. These are even given a three dimensional effect. Such attention to detail! 

If you're brand new here, you don't realize my affection and enthusiasm for all things giraffe. {My second picture book is entitled "Tall Giraffe" and is base on the original song for children that I wrote by that title.} I presented my two break out workshops in the very commons area outside of these classrooms! Imagine how THRILLED I was to see this GLORIOUS creature. 

Of course I had to pose in my giraffe costume with such a perfect backdrop. 

Now take a look at the other two brilliant completed projects. 

Here are a few more glimpses of  goodies around their rooms. 

These headband animal crowns are absolutely classic!

These lovely "Z" is for Zebra projects were on a bulletin board in the Commons as well. I LUV LUV LUV that each child was given the genuine freedom to create their own Z!

I have two earlier articles here and here on my blog filled with jungle/zoo animal projects. 

You'll want to go back to take a look at all of those ideas. 

The first article is at this click and includes the monkey decorated door below.

Would you be a sweetheart and pin from this article? 

That's the way that folks 'find' me for the first time! 

Thanks!!!

I now have 145,000 followers at Pinterest. 

Plus this weekend I clicked over to my first thousand followers at Instagram! 

P.S. On our way back home from VA we were able to make a quick stop to see my parents again. 

Here are the four of us in the hallway at church this morning. 

We leave on Thursday for Colorado and that portion of the family. 

Mom. I put this together and know that you'll appreciate it, too!
