Mix & Match Animals Game
Kids mix and match different animals to make unusual kreatures. Encourage creative thinking by asking questions: What if a hippo had a bird's body? What if a camel had paws like a tiger?
1. Trace around a large paper plate on construction paper with Crayola® Washable Markers. Trace a small plate on a separate sheet. Cut out both circles with Crayola Scissors.
2. Divide both circles into fourths with a Crayola Metallic FX Crayon or marker. Use a ruler to make straight lines.
3. Place the small circle in the center of the large one, and place both circles on top of the large paper plate. Poke a brass fastener through the middle, and spread it apart on the back.
4. Draw four different animals on plain paper with markers and crayons, or cut pictures from recycled magazines. Cut each picture in two pieces. Use Crayola Glue Sticks to attach the top half of each animal to the large circle, and the bottom half to the smaller circle. Trim the pictures to fit.
5. Rotate the circles to create Kooky Kreatures.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
