One Million Giraffes

onemilliongiraffes.com

Last week at Mustard Seeds Library we spent our activity time making giraffes in all shapes, sizes, and media to send into the One Million Giraffes site. A zany kind of guy has created this site because he made a bet with his friend that he would try to collect 1,000,000 giraffes over the course of the year. It's a nice effort and so we thought we'd  enjoy giving him a helping hand. He's also asking that everyone who participates spread the word so that he reaches his target number. There is an underlying goal: to get people to be creative and use their hands to create things, so no computer generated giraffes allowed. I think all the kids came up with great giraffeworks and you can view our gallery online at:
