Monkey Mania

Maybe it's because I teach preschoolers, or maybe it's just the way I'm wired, but if you give me a theme I'll run with it.  Since my classroom theme is monkeys this year I've been looking for things with cute monkeys on them everywhere I go.  I've found a lot of really cute stuff, but so many things cost more money than I 'm willing to spend.  In an effort to keep myself from going too crazy I made some pillows myself.  I manged to make 5 pillows out of 2 yards of fabric. So, what do you think?  Oh, and I need a name for our classroom monkey friend.  Any suggestions?

I can't suggest a name till I know if the monkey's a boy or a girl.
The pillows turned out REALLY cute!

I think the monkey looks like a boy. Besides, the girls outnumber the boys by one, so it'll make them feel better:)

Very cute pillows. I don't have any good suggestions for the monkey's name; everything around here is either "cat", "dog", "lella", or something like Fred; yeah, we're very creative. Hope he finds a good name.
