Effervescent Ethel has been learning about wild animals from this book: My First Sticker Encyclopedia Wild Animals and each day doing a very simple and fast animal craft to add to a Wild Animal book we're compiling. This craft uses items you probably already have in your stores:
-paper plate (we used a 6"size paper plate)
-orange, brown and white paint (mixed together to create the color of a tiger's fur)
-black paint
-glue
-scissors
-masking tape*
-yarn, thread, string or similar for the tiger's whiskers (or you can paint, draw or make whiskers using scrap paper instead) We used thin metallic craft yarn in a silvery-tan color. See this link: http://dadiddleycraftcraft.blogspot.com/2013/11/lion-brand-bon-bon-yarn.html
-pencil
-black permanent marker
-small scrap black paper for nose
-brownish/orange buttons for eyes (or you can use paper or permanent marker to make the eyes if your artist prefers)
-scrap orange paper for ears (we used a scrap of specialty paper)
-salad spinner (Note: *used to tape the paper plate onto the bottom of the salad spinner with painted side facing up.)
-tee shirt
-baby wipes and towel for messes and spills
Cost: $1.49 (GrrrrArrrr!!! Cap'n Mad Ellen was out of black paint!)
DID YOU KNOW?
The tiger's stripes are a lot like human fingerprints. No two tigers have exactly the same pattern.
