oh, that tricky letter z. not much beyond zebras, zig zags, zooming cars and planes, zweibach. so we do things with zippers. we wear zippers to school, practice zipping our dress up vests, listen to different zipping sounds.
this year i gave zippers away as a goodbye gift:

zippidee-doo-dah, zippidee-day…
keep learning and growing each summer day!

here is a zipper to pull up and down…
work those finger muscles all over town!

when i was checking out at the thrift shop, the clerk smiled hopefully and said, “oh, my, you must have a lot of sewing planned.”

i set her straight.
