In the spirit of things,  my little zookeeper asked me if we could make these cute Beavers for a snack today.  I couldn’t help but share them - first because they make me laugh and second, because I love the way our Brown Gingham Kid’s Oilcloth Tablecloth looks under the colorful plate!

 

And what do you know – those peanut butter noses wiped right off the oilcloth when they were done!   After all, you’ve got to keep the zoo nice & clean…
