For the first project, B proffered his largest ball of finger-knitting for us all to try weaving a rug! This project is super-fun and easy to do.
The rug was made on a hula hoop loom, using an old t-shirt for the warp and a massively huge ball of finger knitting for the weft. My son’s ball started with four-finger finger-knitting(click here for a how-to) and switched mid-ball to single-finger finger-knitting. I have to say that although this project was easy for the kids to work on, I think the size of it was a bit overwhelming. My suggestion is to sit down and do a little bit of finger knitting, finish it off, ball it up and add it to a basket. I’ve been going nutty with finger-knitting. Here is the DIY for the hula hoop rug: Materials: A large ball of finger-knitting (or, this can be done in stages as you complete littler strands of finger-knitting) An old t-shirt (I used a women’s large) Scissors Voila!
Finger Knitting How-to. You know how I just wrote about how I like getting a handmade gift more than just about anything. Well, this is anything. Sitting on the couch on a lazy Sunday, knitting with my kids . . . that beats gift-getting for sure. It is a gift itself. We just sat there side-by-side, for about an hour, feeling the warmth from each other’s bodies, listening to music from my computer and basking in each others company as the sun streamed through the windows. Ahhh . . .the experience was so delightful, it was hard to peel myself away to take the photos.
That blue pile is my spot in the middle. The two kiddos are finger-knitting, which I’ve written about before and again, but it continues to be a favorite activity. You end up with a long coil of knitting like this, that curls itself into a sort of tube. My son is using a finer and less expensive yarn, here. They really do enjoy the process. Some day, I’ll make a coiled rug from the pieces. Materials: Any yarn An eager kiddo Time: However long you want! Finger Knitting. Chaises. Article de presse. Inte-Paris. Kitty hugs his teddy bear!

An animal with a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver, and feet like an otter sounds like something a mad scientist would create.
Add to the list the ability to lay lizard-like eggs and shoot poison out of your foot, and you have a unique creature indeed. You have the platypus, a monotreme (an egg-laying mammal) that is indigenous to freshwater rivers and lakes in eastern Australia and Tasmania. Roughly the size of a house cat, the platypus is between 30-60 cm (12-24 in.) in length and weighs 1-2 kg (2-4 lb.). It is covered in thick, dark brown hair over most its body. The thick hair is waterproof and helps keep the platypus warm and dry when in the water, where it spends most of its time.
Webbed paws and short legs that protrude from the sides of the body allow it to swim and dive with ease. While submerged underwater, the platypus closes its eyes and ears. The platypus will then store the food in its cheeks and wait to resurface before eating. Newborn platypuses are helpless. P.A. The Weird, Wacky World of The Platypus. Long has the platypus been referred to as a “freak” or a “joke by God.” But darn it, these critters are awesome, interesting and unique. If anything, they’re really super animals and everyone else is just jealous. After all, they take a little bit of all kinds of good animals and make one excellent and one-of-a-kind family of animals. Photo Via Urville Djasim [Flickr] The Platypus Is Not A FakeMany of you have likely never seen a platypus in your local zoo. In fact, because most zoos only like to take animal species that are 1)native, 2)endangered or 3)can be successfully bred in captivity, few zoos actually have these weird critters. Now just imagine you’re living back in 1798, when Europeans first discovered the creature.
It’s Named For Its Flat Feet and Bird SnoutThis is one critter that is very adequately named. In 1800, physiologist Johann Blumenbach described the platypus as Ornithorhynchus paradoxus, meaning “paradoxical bird snout.” Watch Out, They’re Poisonous It’s Electric! Fun Facts About Platypus. This placid-looking male platypus has a secret weapon: spurs on its hindfeet that are connected to a gland that produces toxic venom. Males use them against predators or in battles with other males during mating season. A strike from a toxic platypus spur can kill a dog. Native to the rivers of eastern Australia, platypus are monotremes—unlike most other mammals, monotremes never evolved live birth, but instead lay eggs like their amniote ancestors. Monotremes produce milk for their young but lack nipples; instead, their milk oozes out of ducts of their mammary glands onto specialized patches of skin.Credit: © AMNH/ R.
The first scientists who encountered the odd-looking platypus believed someone had sewn together the body of a beaver with a duck's bill as a joke. Platypuses are amphibians native to freshwater lakes and streams in Eastern Australia and Tasmania. Other facts about platypus The platypus stores fat in its tail to help it survive when food is limited. Other resources: Platypus. Platypuses, Platypus Pictures, Platypus Facts.
The platypus is among nature's most unlikely animals. In fact, the first scientists to examine a specimen believed they were the victims of a hoax. The animal is best described as a hodgepodge of more familiar species: the duck (bill and webbed feet), beaver (tail), and otter (body and fur). Males are also venomous. They have sharp stingers on the heels of their rear feet and can use them to deliver a strong toxic blow to any foe. Platypuses hunt underwater, where they swim gracefully by paddling with their front webbed feet and steering with their hind feet and beaverlike tail. These Australian mammals are bottom feeders. On land, platypuses move a bit more awkwardly. Platypus reproduction is nearly unique.
Females seal themselves inside one of the burrow's chambers to lay their eggs. Wild Animal Teeth Facts: The Hippo | The Schulhof Center. You may only see hippos when you go to the zoo, but wild hippos live in rivers and lakes in Africa. Hippos love the water, and they live most of their lives there. They can swim, and sometimes they walk over the bottom of riverbeds. A hippo’s eyes, ears, and nostrils are all on top of its head, and that comes in handy, because it means the hippo can still see, hear, and breathe when its head is the only thing poking out of the water. Hippos can hold their breath underwater for as long as 5 minutes. A hippo is the third-largest land mammal, behind the elephant and the rhinoceros. Hippos may look cute and friendly, but they’re actually very dangerous animals. A hippo’s teeth are made of ivory, and its canine teeth are always growing. It may be okay for a hippo to have a mouth full of snaggle teeth, and a fish for a dentist, but if you want teeth as strong as a hippo’s, you’ll have to take care of them.
Hippo. Fun Facts About Crocodiles. Resembling a prehistoric lizard, crocodiles are strong hunters found in the tropical habitats of Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. These reptiles live in rivers, lakes, wetlands and even some saltwater regions. Crocodiles belong to the larger order Crocodilian that includes alligators, caimans and gharials. There are about 14 species of true crocodiles ranging from the smaller dwarf crocodile to the saltwater crocodile. American crocodiles typically can grow up to 15 ft (4.6 m) long and weigh up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg). A 15.8 foot long (4.8 meters) male estuarine crocodile is ready for release with its satellite transmitter to track its long-distance travel.
Other facts about crocodiles Crocodiles ambush their prey either in the water or on land. Crocodiles use their teeth and jaws to crush prey. They exert enormous pressure when grasping prey between their jaws but have very little strength to open them up. Crocodiles swallow stones that help grind food inside their stomach. Alligator vs Crocodile. Differences in Physical characteristics Snout Alligators have a wide "U"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed "V"-shaped noses. Jaw An alligator (left) with a rounded U-shaped snout and a crocodile (right) with a V-shaped snout In alligators, the upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and completely overlaps it. However, in crocodiles, the upper jaw and lower jaw are approximately the same width, and so teeth in the lower jaw fit along the margin of the upper jaw when the mouth is closed.
Hind legs Crocodiles have a jagged fringe on their hind legs and feet; alligators do not. Size The American alligator is the larger of the two species of alligator and typically ranges from 6-12 ft but can grow up to 19 ft. Crocodiles are the largest and heaviest of present-day reptiles. Differences in behavior Differences in behavior are also apparent.
