I also looked at a circus tent that they are advertising right now, but since I don't do a circus theme, I was able to leave without it. It does seem to be available online if you would like to purchase it. It might make a good reading place if the bright red isn't too stimulating for your class. I wish they would bring back the igloo tent I bought there a couple of years ago. It is a wonderful quiet place for kids to read in the winter months.
I did buy two adorable puppets though. They are both very soft plush and seem like a great value. The owl cost five dollars.
I am kind of an owl junkie. I have a hard time walking by anything owl. Wouldn't this be great to use on the first day of school with a song like:
I am Owl, I am Owl,
Who are you?
Who are you?
He could even be the class mascot. "Who's following the rules?"
"Who's here today?"
etc., etc.
The other puppet I bought is a friendly looking dragon or dinosaur (no wings). It was a little more, I think seven dollars. I will use him when reading aloud books on those topics.
I'd love to hear about your back to school finds!
Blessings,
Those are cute! I love puppets except for the scary looking ones like witches. I actually have three. They are more like rugged dolls and the other one is an animal puppet which is a lion. I've been fascinated with puppets eversince i watched a live puppet show few years ago. I'm planning to have a collection of puppets.
