GEOMETRIC REPTILES (integrates mathematics as well as art)

Have the children create a large reptile out of construction paper.  Using various colours of construction paper the students cut out geometric shapes and design a pattern on their reptile.  Next have the students glue their reptile onto a contrasting coloured piece of construction paper.  Examples of reptiles include snakes, turtles, and lizards.

DINO SKELETON

Use a black or dark blue piece of construction paper for each child. Trace a dinosaur outline onto the paper with chalk. Encourage them to draw it as big as possible. Spray with a little hairspray to set the chalk. Then glue macaroni to build the dinosaur's skeleton. This can also be done using the many pasta shapes that are available. (rigatoni, spaghetti, etc.)

Go back in time to the land of dinosaurs! Sculpt your own clay T-Rex. Here is a video clip with step by step instructions on how to sculpt a T-Rex dinosaur.
