Do you know what animals do when you’re not looking? Well, neither do I, but I can always use my imagination! In the summer of 2011, when my granddaughter was about 8 years old, she and I sat for hours creating animal playgrounds. She provided the ideas, and I drew them. Here they are, not in any particular order, except that I think “Bugs’ Playground” was our first one.
