Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
We used a variety of art materials to make our animals—chalk pastels, oil pastels, and crayons.
Step 2
First Maddie drew her animals. She was thinking more traditional drawings, rather than segmented, but we made it work.
Step 3
When she had her pieces drawn, she cut them out. She colored most of them on the other side, too, since both sides would be visible.
Step 4
She cut small slots into the animal limbs and bodies.
Step 5
Then they were connected!
Step 6
Ears, eyes, tails, fins, wings, arms and legs...many things can be used to add dimension! Just remember that the body will be sideways.
Final result!
Maddie got right to work hunting for a nice shade of blue paper so she could make water for her dolphin, then dragged them all outside to the grass for an adventure. Where will your animals take you?
