"Dinosaurs" 1st Grade

First graders have been working very hard creating dinosaurs. They chose their favorite species, and drew it with a pencil and outlined it with a sharpie.


We talked about the different kinds of texture. How some things feel smooth or rough, and decided to give our Dinosaurs tough, textured skin. We tore up paper and glued it on till it covered the whole body. Then we added eyes and a mouth.



We added a coat of papier-mache to make it extra tough.


When they dry, we will cut them out and glue them on watercolor paper. Once we draw the background, we will paint it with watercolors. To be continued.
