Derby Horses

It's Derby Day!  C and R groomed their horses and they are ready to race.  Here they are:

R named her horse Alex Elizabeth

C named his horse Funny Face

To make the horses, I traced a horse onto cardboard and cut it out.  I then let C and R decorate their horses and gave them yarn to glue on for the mane and tail, and C wanted yarn on the back of his horse too.  I taped a popsicle stick to the back of R's horse so that she could hold it like a puppet but C wanted to hold his by the hooves so he doesn't have a stick.
