Second Grade Toucans



My second grade students have been working quite fastidiously on these festive toucans, and finally they are complete!  First the students learned a little about toucans and sketched one using a black crayon on a 12x 18 in piece of white tag board.  We then worked carefully to paint the background a shade a blue.  After the backgrounds were dry, the students painted the bodies of the toucans black and white.  I then demonstrated how to use water soluble oil pastels to create colorful beaks.  Finally students used the funky paper we created a few weeks ago to create flowers, leaves and any other details the students wished to add.  Overall, I think these came out fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
