Creating animals

I had acquired quite a few toilet rolls lately so thought the best way to put them to good use was to turn them into giraffes. The task was simple just adding a head and painting everything yellow and sticking on brown squares but the result is a really fun toy for the children to play with long after they have finished the art project.
For the older children we look at Aboriginal art from Australia and tried to re create our own pieces. We worked at mixing different colors to create some more natural shades of brown. Then using cotton buds we started on the dots which form the main part of the painting.
