We all love a bit of 'down in the jungle' every academic year!
Sometimes our classroom space may not allow an elaborate jungle set up, but you can always make the most of what you have.
In this case, I hung vines down a string. I wrapped brown paper and stuck leaves on. WE added flash cards and sensory pouches at the bottom.
Then I stuck paper leaves and a tree on the wall for a little more 'volume.'
In the scenario below,I had a lot more space to play with so i hung down crepe paper with different patterns for vines. I painted trees and stuck on the window (there's also some yellow and green cellophane sheets for a dim effect), covered the column with brown paper and pinned flowers on.
I hung up a cute soft monkey :D
... and yes, there's the giant foot!
I work with children at the best time of their lives; the early years! Here, I share quick short ideas, tips and ideas to support your learning journey with your adorable preschoolers.

Make a giant foot in 5 minutes!
What do you do when you have to whip up an enormous foot and there's no time to buy a mesh?
You use all your left over paper :D
... and some tape of course!
So, I started with two hard A3 sheets. I rolled them up into cylinders and just stacked them full of paper.
Stick the two together with some tape
Next part is a bit tricky, squeeze in and fold the cylinder for the foot and hold it with some brown paint
Paint it, and voila!
