The theme this year is “Weird Animals.” We are interested in anything unique in texture, sheen, appearance, etc that children would find interesting or appealing. Ideas might be: streamers, beaded curtains, whirly-­‐gigs, plants, fake or real flowers, shiny or sheer curtains, pool noodles and the list goes on. Have questions about a certain item?
