MY 5 YEAR OLD LOVES "WIILY"THE WHALE.  WE HAD A "WHALE OF A PARTY" FOR HER LAST SEPTEMBER. I MADE CARDBOARD CUT OUTS OF ORCAS, PAINTED THEM BLACK AND WHITE. I THEN STAKED THEM INTO THE GROUND AROUND THE FORT END OF THE WOODEN SWING SET.  I MADE A FLAG THAT SAID "SS FREE WILLY" AND HUNG IT ON THE END OF THE SWINGSET.  THE KIDS WENT WHALE WATCHING WHILE UP IN THE "BOAT".  I BOUGHT A 6 FOOT LONG WALL HANGING  OF A ORCA AT THE LOCAL TEACHER STORE, MOUNTED IT ON CARDBOARD AND COVERED THE DORSAL FIN.  I MADE DORSAL FINS FROM BLACK CONSTRUCTION PAPER AND THE KIDS PLAYED "PIN THE FIN "ON WILLY.  THE KIDS FISHED FOR FOAM FISH IN THE SWIMMING POOL.THEY FED WILLY BY TOSSING FISH SHAPED BEAN BAGS INTO A BLACK CYLINDER TRASH CAN I PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE AN ORCA.WE DRANK BLUE KOOLAID WITH GUMMY FISH FROZEN IN ICE CUBES.WE EVEN HAD A WHALE PINATA.MY DAUGHTER HAD A GREAT DAY AND EVERYONE HAD A WHALE OF A TIME.
