Zoo Camp Penguin Week Update

Good morning campers, Zebee here. This week was all about penguins. I like penguins, don't you?

We had art work sent in from three campers this week. Let's get right to it.

First we have the hidden picture

done on the computer again by Sue.

Now Anne sent us a picture

of her handprint penguin.

Beth sent in two pictures this week.

She did the egg shaped penguin

and the crossword puzzle.

Thank you girls for sending us yur pictures. My boss Joy will be emailing you your special penguin surprise today. So look for it.

That's it for art this week. Be sure to send in your art from or Slithery Snake week that's going on right now. The art projects will be up tomorrow.

As always, the gang here at the V Zoo really likes it when you send in your pictures, so keep them coming.

Now I'm off to check out what's going on over at the bear pit. Belinda seems mighty upset about something.
