We were able to find some postcards, but I will have to buy some elsewhere so I have enough. Speaking of which, here are the states that are still needed:
Iowa
Louisiana
Mississippi
Nebraska
North Dakota
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Vermont

And how does mom get the children interested in going on a 20 minute drive to get postcards? By telling them we will get to feed the deer of course. Though Tabitha was somewhat interested in picking out the cards. (I do plan on using the info we gather through this swap to have them each make a book on the states, so even if they aren't too interested right now at their young age, we will have it as a resource as they get older)
So, here are the pictures from the deer park.
Even with the fence between the girls and the deer, the girls were a tad bit scared. Tabitha tended to throw the crackers at the deer. She didn't like the fact that her hand was so close if she was holding the cracker and the deer's mouth was on the other end.

That deer park is so neat!! The postcard exchange sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteAwwww!! I bet the girls loved the deer park!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures - such a fun experience!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the deer! How cool. In response to your question about the objects, the best place I have found is the button packs at Hobby Lobby. I intend to do a post about the objects, where I get them, and whats in my boxes once I finish them.
