we’ve been watching the calendar.  today we checked the computer.   we looked at maps.  and….

punxsutawney phil saw his shadow!

so we took some crafty little puppets (groundhog printable glued on old cracker and cereal boxes with a craft stick hot glued on…thank you ms hanna for your factory-like work in getting them ALL cut out!), colored them brown (or any other color of choice) and took them out for a shadow hunt!

we made holes from tires and climbed on in too.  we were the groundhogs!

we did read a factoid that phil’s weather predictions have only been right 39% of the time.

so, if you don’t want 6 more weeks of winter, then you might be in luck!

we also did some indoor shadow dancing play, but i was too involved to take any photos…tomorrow i hope!
