Are you as sly as a fox? Loyal as a dog? Sculpt imaginary animals that have traits in common with you! Get to know your classmates better, too.
1.
With your friends, list several interesting animals. What are some qualities that describe how they look or act? (lions=fierce, stealthy; giraffes=tall, graceful; turtles=steady, deliberate)
2.
Which of these animals are most like you? Which qualities do you have in common? Choose three animals that are similar. Use Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils to sketch an imaginary animal that combines features of all three!
3.
Cover your craft area with newspaper. Use Crayola Air-Dry Clay to sculpt your animal. Work on a paper plate to shape a fanciful creature that has some of your best qualities.

Paint your imaginary creature with Crayola Washable Watercolors. You may want to use several coats for deep hues. Air-dry your animal for at least 3 days before handling.
