BUTTERFLY SONG

FURBIT - Parts of Many Animals

Create an imaginary creature for your classroom to capture your students' attention.
Cut out parts of different animals and glue them to a sheet of paper to form your creature.  Introduce the newly created animal to your class and ask them what they think he is.  Name the various animals the new creature was made from.  Write a class story telling where Furbit lives, what he eats, what activities he likes, what habits... OR have students write  individual stories.  Post stories in the hallway with your creative writing.  If you have enough pictures to cut up, each child could do their own imaginary animal.

BUNNY BOOKMARK

This is a cute, quick bookmark for your students.  Or have your students make them for a gift project.

HALF ANIMAL DUPLICATION

 

This a a great art project that doesn't need much prep, 

is not messy, and is truly ART.  

Teacher needs to start collecting full face photos of 

animals.  I have scanned some to get you started.

Students choose which animal they wish to draw 

the other half of.  Tape the half they are modeling 

on the appropriate side of their art paper.  

It might be useful to have soft art pencils and 

art erasers to be able to erase mistakes.  Leave 

students plenty of time and get ready to be amazed.  

You may want to add some writing project to finish this project.

DOT STICKER ARTS AND CRAFTS

This is a neat art project for intermediate classrooms.  You need lots of different colored dot stickers, Ed Emberly Books, scissors, imagination, and patience.  Explain and demonstrate a variety of these items and then let the students go.  OR, at the end of a unit on ocean, try an ocean scene.  Can you think of other ways to use these items?

3 D UNDERWATER SCENE

PAPER PLATE CATERPILLAR CRITTERS

BLOTTO BUTTERFLY

This would make a great gift for the elderly that your students know. 

TISSUE BUTTERFLIES

This skill is very hard for students to handle.  So, that leads me to believe they should do something similar to this each year for developmental reasons.  Lots of ways to dress this project up: Glue on the front of a card to be sent out to someone special; write a butterfly poem, attach project to the back of the poem, and hang from the ceiling.

PAPER QUILLED ANIMALS

This is very hard, but comes out as a striking completed project.
