Enter, Conroy!Anyway, I quite enjoyed making Conroy... so I made him some more friends-- all for Alyson to use in word problems. So here's how it's done. 
What You Need:
Cut out the Giraffe with scissors, staying close to the lines... careful, careful
Trace the feet onto gray construction paper for the toes. Make sure you trace on the side you sketched the giraffe-- you will flip everything over so that there are no pencil marks showing.
Cut the feet out-- just outside the lines, so that you don't see any yellow peeping out from underneath. Flip the giraffe over and glue the feet in place. Remember everything is reversed.
I added some black construction paper to bring out some details.
Trace the giraffe on brown paper and draw the spots where you want them. Then use X-Acto or scissors to cut them out and glue them onto the other side of the giraffe.
Cut out some darker brown shapes to accent the lighter ones. Also, add the eye.
I used the Sharpie to fill in the eye, divide the toes, and draw a smile.
His name is George.
What You Need:Scissors

Start off by sketching your animal on the primary color construction paper

I can't help it. A chicken is a fowl, not foul, unless it is.
ReplyDeleteSpelling not withstanding your animals are incredibly outstanding.
ReplyDelete...and thank you for adding my blog to your blog list! :)
ReplyDeleteFIXED! You know that word challengedness runs in the family, don't you?
ReplyDeleteI love your blog - I found you through Faith & Fam's small successes - thanks for your comments. But, really, I love your blog and I am bookmarking it so I can come back and try everything. Do I need an art degree to make that rockin' giraffe? And those cupcakes...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my students don't notice the new standard on the board or any of the new lamps (let alone my new haircut), but if you bring me a new animal, all I hear is "Ms. Perry, what is the giraffe's name? Ohh...look, you have an iguana!"
ReplyDeleteLove Conroy!
