2nd 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!!!!!!!!!!!!
