Have each child in your group or association decorate a large, clear plastic jar with a slot in the top for pennies. Each jar is then displayed in a local business for people to drop their extra pennies in the jar. The child that collects the most pennies in a designated amount of time, wins a special award. Have fun & raise funds at the same time!
Odd-Toed Ungulate (defined): Members of the order Perissodactyla, otherwise known as odd-toed ungulates, are mammals characterized by an odd number of toes and by hindgut fermentation with somewhat simple stomachs.
