Amazing Animals
Run! Gallop! Fly! These colorful 3-D animals, made with recycled file folders, seem almost real. Make---and take---them anywhere you go.
1. Here’s an easy way to make 3-D animals. You’ll want to create flocks or herds of them to fill your own zoo, barnyard, or rainforest.
2. Open a file folder. Outline an animal so the fold is the middle of its back with a Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencil. Draw the creature all sprawled out. Remember, you can erase, just in case!,
3. Color the animal with your Crayola Crayons. Add lots of color and detail. Mix colors to make realistic fur. Press hard to get brilliant bird feathers.
4. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out your animal. Fold the legs, neck, or tail to give it a natural appearance.
