We have a problem in our house - my daughter really really wants a pet lizard. We have done everything to try and change her mind. Unfortunately she is just not letting this go. This morning I found the perfect solution! Meet our newest pet: Airplane, the lizard.
My daughter knows he isn't real but so far has been perfectly content talking to him all morning.We went to a book fair with a friend yesterday and were given a small lizard poster. My daughter loved it and named the lizard Airplane. I planned on framing the poster for her playroom but then decided to make a cage instead.
I had a plastic packaging container in my closet. Perfect home for our new pet!
My daughter had a lot of finding rocks and sticks for the lizard's new home.
I trimmed the poster and glued it to the back of the box. Then I cut a piece of brown paper to fit in the bottom. I glued the paper and rocks to the bottom with my glue gun. We found a small container for a food dish, embellished it, and glued in sticks. Why sticks? My daughter thought it would be a great lunch for Airplane! Works for me.
Dory the fish and Airplane the lizard are new best friends!
Hopefully this keeps my daughter from continuing to beg for a real pet lizard!
