Your assignment

Liza has to decorate a cardboard letter "z" with pictures of things that start with z. We're doing random google image searches, but could use some extra ideas of things that 5-year-olds might actually recognize. Leave your suggestions in the comments, please. This over-achieving parent thanks you!

What we have so far:

Z

zebra

zoo

zither

Zeus

Zimbabwe

zebra mussels

zinc

zirconium

Zurich

Zuma

zucchini

Zips

zipper

zero

zyzzyva

zodiac

And, since we're in Cleveland, Zeeeee!!!! *

*He's been one of my favorites ever since I saw him at an Indian restaurant, where he had to basically fold himself in thirds to sit in a folding chair while waiting for his takeout order. I swear, his kneecap was at my mid-thigh level. Dude is biiiiiiiiig. And I'll bet more of Liza's classmates can identify him than can identify Zeus (or a zither, for that matter).
