Five Little Monkeys Jumpin' on the Bed

A bed but no monkeys!

Our annual Pajama Party is this week and there is a lot going on in our classroom.  We have a new bulletin board for our MWF classes.  The 'headboard' of the bed is scrapbooking paper with a wood grain.  I folded the paper in half and a few cuts later had two bed posts and  then filled in the center with larger pieces.  The 'blanket' is an old sheet that I cut to loosely fit the bulletin board.  You also could use lightweight baby blankets or large material scraps. 

I was unable to find a suitable monkey stencil for the children to trace and cut so ended up creating my own.
We already have several monkeys jumping on the bed.  I imagine we will have more than five by the time the children are finished!
