About this School Project (2nd Grade: Animals at Night)

They added pupils, highlights, and modge podge to make them look realistic. They continued the project by drawing their animal on black paper. They learned to add values d texture using oil pastels to represent their animal's fur or feathers. They ended the project by ripping paper to create fur for the background. Ripping paper is an essential exercise for strengthening finger muscles to help improve fine motor skills.
