Trying out some Flamingo Fabulous and the Clipart Challenge - Plus a giveaway!

For those of you on the East Coast, and that also still have the pleasure of being in school, you might have noticed your precious little barometers reacting to not only acute summeritis but also Tropical Storm Andrea.  It was a Friday, and it was raining, and it was going to be indoor recess...dear Lord, how did I survive the day?

I haven't decided if I was lucky or not to have planned to do our stuffed animal measurement fair today.  It certainly ended up having the right carnival atmosphere, the day was peppered with *ahem* psychotic clowns, and I can still hear that merry-go-round refrain "dut dut dutty dut, dut dut dut duh...".

The actual idea is awesome.  The package from Flamingo Fabulous is, indeedy, fabulous.  Super cute, super easy to do, very little prep on the teacher's part.  And the kids are totally INTO it. Click the picture below to get your copy at her TpT store!

And here's some of the fun in action:  Seven stations, eight different ways to measure.
