The thinker…

We’ve got a new addition to our playroom- the green hand chair. Pam Lehnert found it at Tap Plastics in Seattle, the company that helped with decorations for the Out of the Box auction. I’m not sure who’s more excited- Jamie or her human friends (I literally squealed when I first saw it!). Thanks so much to Pam, and to Tap Plastics for giving her such a good deal! We are thrilled!

    No doubt Jamie is a thinker. Now she has a chair suitable for her.

      I thought the exact same thing! How can you top a picture of Jamie sitting in a giant hand, contemplating her own hand?? This picture is priceless!!

      Great shot Jackie!! 🙂

    Fantastic! I love it! Did the others get to sit in the green hand chair? Is it heavy; can the chimps move it around?

      I haven’t seen anyone else sit in it yet, though they have all checked it out a little bit (some with skepticism). It’s a very strong plastic, but not too heavy to move around. Jamie has been spotted displaying with it and tonight I saw her using a technique similar to this one: https://staging.chimpsnw.org/2010/05/jamies-new-mode-of-transportation/

      🙂

    who said that chimps aren’t existential?

    AWESOME…….what a fantastic idea.

    It looks like Jamie is trying to give her hand the same shape as the chair.



  14. Avatar Eric Dodge on December 27, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    Tamela, it would have to be extremely heavy for a determined chimp not to move it. Chimps are VERY powerful when they exert even half to 3/4 of their strength.

    What an awesome picture! I love it. Thanks, Pam!
