Rumble In The Jungle

Rumble in the Jungle written by Giles Andreae is a clever tale of animals that live and hide in the jungle.  The story is told in rhyming verse and the illustrations by David Wojtowycz are bright and colorful.  Traveling through the book you will see jungle animals in their natural habitats and learn a few details about each one...such as the Crocodile "When animals come to the river to drink.  I watch for a minute or two.  It's such a delight.  To behold such a sight.  That I can't resist chomping a few."

Since the book is about finding the hiding animals, Nathan's craft for the day was to make a jungle and hide some animals.

For the craft we used construction paper, glue and wooden animal cutouts that I found at The Dollar Tree.  If you can't find the cutouts, then I would recommend using printables and coloring and cuting those out to glue instead.  Or perhaps, cut pictures of animals from a magazine...A great resource for that would be some old National Geographic magazines if you have any.

We used black and green paper.  We glued one of the edges of pages to the other and then cut the green paper into strips (to the glued edge).

Then Nathan glued the animals to the paper.

And now Nathan can look for jungle animals too....

He also made a jungle scene using foam stickers (I think I found them in Target's Dollar Spot).
