Polar Friends

Our latest art projects are on display in the hallway just outside our door and, as you can see, they make you think of the snowy places we have been learning about.   Yes our polar bears look a little darker than you would expect, but that is because he really does have black skin under all of his thick white fur.  His black skin acts almost like an insulator and his fur is more like individual straws.  (This helps him absorb the heat from the sun for the cold polar nights.)  And our penguins look a little silly because they are so funny to watch.   There are so many kinds of penguins, we just couldn't decide which one to make.  So we just used our imagination.   You probably can't see from the pictures, but our girl penguins are even wearing necklaces....Now we know they don't really wear jewelry - but it just looked so cute.
