Paper Animal Sculptures

As a one-day challenge, students in grades 2 and 3 created animals or creatures out of only magazine pages and tape.   We cared not what was written on the page, but instead ripped pages out of Better Homes and Gardens with reckless abandon. 


 Students practiced crumpling paper to make ovals and spheres, and coiling paper to make things like legs and necks.  


Some of the results were pretty great, and students got some exploratory practice in before an upcoming project.
