They played Elephant, Squirrel, dog, cat, lion. The picture above was two puppies that took a nap. We talked about what these animals can and can't do and how our human bodies are many more things than most of these animals. Fluttershy pointed out that we can't fly though.
Sensory stimulation
We created some fun sensory experience that were really fun.
