Your kids will love Switcheroo Zoo to create some new species

I came across Switcheroo Zoo earlier in the week and have been using it with my kids in the classroom.  They really enjoy the games and activities and have done some great research on Animals from around the world.  Best of all for me their is an excellent teacher guide to accompany the activities.

Switch Zoo - Make New Animals
Visitors to this unique zoo make their own new creatures by switching the animals' heads, legs and tails. While students play, they can read facts about each of the animals that comprise their new beast. Visit our lesson plans section for classroom ideas.

Spiders have gotten a bad rap. This spider expert from the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture restores the spider's reputation by debunking such myths as "Spiders in the home are a danger to children and pets." and "The daddy longlegs has the world's most powerful venom, but its fangs are so small that it can't bite you."  Find it here.
