March: Extra Project
Project: Patterned Frogs
We are making Patterned Frogs using frog templates, markers and wiggly eyes. Students will trace frogs on to construction paper (or other if I can find some heavier stock), trace them with Sharpie Markers and then fill them in with different, line patterns using magic markers. Once completely filled in, students can cut them out and glue wiggly eyes on to the frogs.
