FIRST GRADE: Paper Owls
You can use any kind of paper you have- newspaper, wrapping paper, colored paper, white paper……we need to start by cutting out a LARGE oval to make the body. At one end of the oval cut a low dip to show the ears of the owl. Now out of the rest of your paper cut two smaller ovals which will be the wings. You can leave them the way they are or cut a straight edge on one side of each. Cut two circles that will be the eyes, one smallish triangle for the beak and we are ready to add color! The example was painted with watercolors but you can use anything- chalk, marker, crayon, colored pencils….. Have fun and be creative with your color- YOU can make it any color(s) that you want! Add detail on the wing and chest area to make it look like feathers, and add an eyeball to each circle. Glue this all together and you have your OWL! You could make lots of them in different sizes and turn them into a picture if you want to! Don’t forget to send me a picture. Maybe you could hold it so I could see your smile, too!
SECOND GRADE: Tube Critters
You will need some toilet paper tubes, or paper towel tubes or you can make your own cylinder by cutting a rectangle, rolling the long sides into a tube and gluing or taping it shut.
Next: decide what to make. You can make any kind of animal by cutting and adding features. You can color right onto the cardboard tubes, you might want to color the tubes you make first before rolling them into shape as they won’t be as strong as the toilet paper tubes. Have fun, create a zoo, make dinosaurs, or a forest, or make up your own animals. The sky is the limit!!!!
Looks life tons of fun!!!! You can make lots and then create a puppet show for your family!
Make sure you send me a photo- I would love to see you holding your creations so I can see your smiles!!!!
As always, do all of your school work, get outside for fresh air- even for just a few minutes, help out your family at home and Be Kind!!!!
