Brought to you by
Grades K-2
Materials:• Recycled Cardstock
• “Junk” from teacher recycle center
• Cool glue guns for adults
Introduction:• I found all of these treasures that someone was going to throw away! (show junk)
• What do you think we could do with these instead of letting someone turn them into trash?
• Could you make something out of them?
• What could you make?
• When we re-use things, we keep them out of the trash and we keep our earth clean and
beautiful which helps keep animals and ourselves healthy and happy.
• Do you think you might be able to use your imagination and help the earth at the same time?
• Since today we are learning about land animals, I want each of you to look at the stuff
we have here and think of a land animal (real or make believe/not yet discovered)
that you could make on paper.
• Demonstrate and explain
1. We will choose our items and place them on our paper.
2. A grown up will carry it to the gluing station
3. You can draw more parts to your animal or maybe you want to add a background
for your animal (trees, grass, desert, anything).
• Are you ready to help animals by making awesome art?
• Move to a table and allow time to sort through and discover junk, then hand out paper.
Activity:• Once items are chosen and arranged in the way they like, adult will slide a piece of
cardboard underneath for stability and carry it to the “glue gun station”
• Children can then use markers to finish their picture.
• Adults will add children’s names and name of animal
Conclusion:• What animal did you make?
• Did anyone draw a background for their animal?
• Show me bunny ears if you helped animals today by turning something that would
be yucky trash into beautiful art.
