Wild Eli Webisode 1

This is the premiere show of Wild Eli. He takes us to the Jacksonville Zoo after a brief introduction. It's closed captioned for the hearing impaired. :) Pay close attention to the gorilla scenes; he was an angry gorilla. Enjoy the music and the show. This is only the beginning! Stay tuned for more personal commentary by yours truly!

Tiger Face Painting in 4 Easy Steps!

It's craft time and to honor our time at the zoo, my mom is going to show us how to transform our mugs in to tigers in 4 easy steps! Ready?

Step 1: Start with a sponge blended with red, yellow and white paint. (As you can see below, it doesn't need to be perfect!)


Step 2: Add some black stripes with a paint brush. (Wild Eli could not hold still so take notice of the smudges.. doesn't need to perfect to have fun!)



Step 3: Lightly sponge or use your finger to make a light gray muzzle about the mouth.



Step 4: Paint the tips of the nose and lips black. Finish with some little black dots above upper lip. Now roar!!



What do you think? Not bad in less than 5 minutes!
