making stuffed animals

The project took longer than I expected and no one finished, but the good news was they wanted to work on them again next week. This was a challenging project for the kids!

Jaime, working on his story. First a pencil storyboard, then to watercolor paper and pen and paint. The kids had to put themselves in the story, and it could be true or made up.
