How did we do that?? First, we found the outline of a Panamanian animal and cut it out. Then, we cut out two versions of the animal, one slightly smaller than the other. Next, we filled up the empty space with different geometric shapes.
Saralai- margay
Macey- ocelot
Thorson- capuchin
Jade- cow
Max- eagle
Reid- capuchin
Nova- sea turtle
Mrs. Kinder- tree frog
Rain Sticks
inspired by the rain forest
First we poked SO many holes and filled them with toothpicks.
Then we glued and cut the toothpicks down to little nubs.
Then we decorated with paint, washi tape and jewels. We glued felt on the ends and filled with rice to make the peaceful sounds of gentle rain.
