Pretty rustic! |
I removed the floor & started painting. |
Done with the painting! |
I wrapped the floor panels with cute contact paper. |
I plan to attach chicken wire to the inside of both doors as the bars look a bit big and baby chicks might get their heads caught in them.
We won't be hatching chicks until the spring, so I plan to bring it to school at the beginning of the year and use it as a pet shop where students can pretend to buy stuffed animals.
I'll set up a store with a cash register, I'll place stuffed animals & puppets in the cage, and I'll put up a menu of prices:
Crickets 1 cent
Mice 2 cents
Roosters 3 cents
Cats 4 cents
Dogs 5 cents
We have a limited number of puppets left; 2-5 of each animal puppet left. Click on the puppets to take you to the link on TPT. I'll use receipt that are a lot like THESE.
Come back in a couple of days to see the stores I set up each month in my Kindergarten, soon to be my TK, class! :)

I don't have room to store it in my garage until chick-hatching time, so that's why it will be a pet store (selling stuffed animals & animal puppets), and later it will be an animal shelter. That's when I will raise awareness for the animals at our local shelter and kids can donate items that we can bring to the shelter as a community project. So I'll get a lot out of this little project. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of your readers recommended that I use hardware cloth instead of chicken wire inside the windows. So that's what I'm planning to do.
See you soon, Heidi! :)
