Giraffes


Two day drawing and painting lesson I got from www.Deep Space Sparkle.com.

I demonstrate drawing the giraffe. It helps to give the children handouts of giraffes to follow along. Make sure the paper they are using is too thick to trace, but determined children are resourceful and you will catch them trying to hold the paper up to the light and trace.

Anyway, we start with the eye and go from there. I assure children that if their giraffe's ears don't fit on the paper it looks just fine. We color or paint with yellows, oranges, and browns, and the children decided on a background!
