Guess Who? Animal Riddles

They are big and they are gray,

And their trunks swing and sway.

What are they?  Elephants

Bananas are their favorite things,

And they like to chatter and they like to swing.

What are they?  Monkeys

They have necks that are long, long, long

If you guess a turtle, you'd be wrong, wrong, wrong.

What are they?  Giraffes

They are a kind of cat

But they have a mane and (roar) like that.

What are they?  Lion

These birds can't fly and they eat fish so yummy

They're black all over except for a white tummy.

What are they? Penguins

Open Ended Art

Stencils, colored pencils, scissors, glue sticks, and lots of colorful paper
