Have you ever wanted to go on safari and experience the most spectacular skies? Africa's safari sunsets are incomparable! With a horizon stretched endlessly as far as the eye can see, the sky's breathtaking hues look like they're about to catch fire. Want to make your own beautiful African safari sunset? This sunset shadow tracing art is super easy and comes out beautifully every time. The perfect activity for your little ones for some pretend play and a quick geography lesson! Materials Needed: Color Paper Scissors Marker Glue Step 1 Grab your orange-colored paper and set it aside. Then, carefully rip a long, lengthwise piece from your black paper with your hands to create a mountain horizon. Glue it to the bottom of your paper. Step 2 Repeat step 2 with the yellow colored paper. Glue that piece to the top of your orange background to create the top of your sky. Then, rip two thinner pieces and glue them just below with small gaps between. Step 3 Use your black colored paper cut out some animal and tree shapes to finish your African sunset! Glue them to the backdrop. Complete your project by drawing in a few bushes, grass, and trees with your marker!

I have actually decided to try and teach some music this year at our school. We are concentrating on folk music from around the world. I received help from that ladies at the 4Real Forum. They directed me to this amazing site: Putumayo World Music. This site, and our well stocked local library is all I will need for the entire school year. Our first stop on the globe is Africa. We have been having a wonderful time learning about music from all over this large continent. I also wanted to add musical instruments to our studies, but everything out there is soooo expensive, so I decided to make some ankle bells for the kids to enjoy from our trip to Africa. I found a single string of bells online for $20.00, but for $4.00 and one hour of time I made a strand of bells for each of the little learners. Wal-mart had everything I needed. I bought Christmas jingle bells, fringed edging, and red rick-rack I strung the bells onto the fringe, folded it over and pinned it. Then it was quite easy to sew this into place. I moved my needle over to the left to make room for the bells as I sewed. Lastly, I sewed on the rick-rack. This added color and provided the ties for the bells. Here is the finished, blurry, product. Children DO NOT stand still while wearing these, as you can see in the video below.
