At the end of every year we create a piñata of our classroom animal. The kids are encouraged to use recycled products and really think about the features that animal has. We often write a list and talk about what we can use to represent those features as we work paper maching our animal. Some years our animals come out amazing and some years barely recognizable. But it's the collaborative effort that make them all unique and special.
We then cover the animal with tissue and work on the makings and smaller features, like whiskers and spots.
I really liked how one of the children insisted on fuzzy cheeks!
Whiskers and a nose!
Purple eyebrows? Why not!
I especially loved the tongue idea.
Because he is hot and we live in the desert, so therefore he must be panting.
Then we hang it up and beat it with a stick.
