Below is a paper sculpture video I made a couple years ago on Youtube. Most of the students in second and third grade have made this project in art class already, but there are endless ways this can be made. I included a poster with more ideas and a picture of a student holding up the finished product. It is a very simple, yet fun project. The only materials you’ll need are scissors, glue (stick or bottle will work), and paper. Enjoy!

I hope everyone is at home staying safe and healthy! I know students are busy reading and staying up to date on school work as best they can.

I have attached two links below:

The first is a YouTube channel called “Art for Kids Hub.” They have hundreds of videos showing step by step how to draw different cartoons, objects, animals, and more all at different difficulty levels.

The second link is to a channel of Bob Ross painting videos. These are full episodes that are great to just watch and relax OR if the supplies are available to you, they are a great challenge to paint along to!

Feel free to take on the challenge! Add color if you can! These do not need to be turned in to me but if you have a great picture you would like to share please feel free to email me a picture of anything you’ve created this week! I would be happy to share the pictures on my blog so everyone can see!
