Why You’re Going to Love Using a (Cute, Can’t Help but Make You Smile) Class Mascot

There’s something about a classroom mascot that just works.

When the class mascot asks the question, shares the joke, or does the reminding, kids tend to listen differently. Instead of doing all the talking yourself, you can let the mascot “lead the conversation”, which takes some pressure off you and helps grab your students’ attention.

There are endless ways to use the Deer and Friends WholeHearted Critter Crew™, including to:

• Spark conversation and connection
• Build classroom community
• Support social-emotional learning and behavior expectations
• Bring humor, curiosity, and playfulness into your room while keeping routines structured, visual, and engaging

Flexible & Easy to Use

This Classroom Mascot Springtime Kit is designed to work with the WholeHearted Critter Crew™ Deer and Friends Mix-and-Match mascot system.

All costumes and accessories fit all five critters in the Deer & Friends collection – the Deer, Giraffe, Horse, Zebra and Alpaca.  You can use your favorite mascot, rotate animals by season, or switch them up just for fun.

If you already have any other Deer & Friends packs, these outfits and prompts will drop right into your existing setup. And if this is your very first kit – no worries. It works just as well on its own.
