What did we do?
Online Creature Creation
We went to Switcheroo Zoo and created an amazing new animal. I love this online free program that allows you to morph animals by body section. We didn’t write a story on the site, but you can create a story right on the site.
Craft
JDaniel created this monster with many eyes and a brain on top.

I am very intrigued by the book and by Switcheroo Zoo. Thanks for sharing both!
Ruth says
The idea of Switcheroo Zoo is a great one, and reminds me of a game we played when we were kids – animal consequences where everyone draws a head, passes it on for the next person to draw body, arms etc. you end up with some fantastic creatures/monsters.
SnoopyGirl says
What a fun book and craft. We made something like this from pictures of animals from magazines that the kids pasted to make new animals. They then had to write about their animal. We did it at our homeschool co-op.

Such a great idea for a meme. I’ll have to see if I can participate in the future. That book sounds like a riot. Sounds similar to The Mixed up Chameleon by Eric Carle.
Sharla says
