Toothy Tiger

Which verbs and adjectives best describe a tiger and its movements? Kids sculpt their descriptive vocabulary words into the form of a familiar feline figure.

1. Picture tigers in the wild. What words jump into your head when you think of the world's biggest cats? Maybe action words like stalk, prey, pounce, or picture words like striped, furry, strong, and powerful.

2. Keep those expressive words in mind as you sculpt a tiger with white Crayola® Model Magic®. What is your tiger doing? Dry.

3. Cover your work area with newspaper. Use Crayola Washable Kid's Paint and Paint Brushes to paint your tiger and its stripes. Did you know that no tiger has the same pattern of stripes? They are as unique as people's fingerprints. Dry.

4. With Crayola Scissors, cut details such as teeth or claws from construction paper. Attach to your tiger with Crayola School Glue. Dry.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"We found out that tigers roam India, Siberia, China, and Southeast Asia. There are more tigers in zoos and circuses than in the wild!"
Louisa S., mom of 10-year-old twins.

"Our student visitors adopt an endangered species, list words to describe it, and then make a diorama showing its habitat."
Jocelyn B., museum docent.

Tigers eat about 7000 pounds (3175 kg) of meat a year. In order to find that much food, they often have to walk 37 miles (60 km) a day. Golfer Tiger Woods' birthday is December 30. Why do you think he is called Tiger?
