Arrrrgghhh... which I now have about 500 scattered around the house in my plants LOL The kids love them and plead with me not to throw them away!
NO MORE... Please, I'M BEGGING...
Several years ago I gathered up all of mine, got some large art paper, and the kids and I made up a board game called "Noah's Ark" in which the jungle animals had to come off the ark and go to the "jungle" area, the arctic animals had to go to an "arctic" area, and so forth. There is even an area called "my back yard" where the puppies, kitties, ponies, bunnies, etc. go.
They love it. Partly because they helped create it, but also because it's a fun game for about age 10 or 11.
I always thought about sending it to Red Rose, but never got around to it.
