try using the art of Henri Rousseau- they can paint rainforest animal murals,
or this yr I did a "pop out" Rousseau jungle w/ them in 2 classes on 9x12
tagboard using those 3do's on the back to "pop" out the stuff- start w/ a
paper folded in half horizontally, draw the trees, coonect them- cut out-
will have 2 "sets" of trees- attach on first- then add other layers, I made
kids show at least 3 animals and 4 trees, plants, flowers, ets- they just
dreww, colored, cut- craypas for rich color. Very successful, will be in the
art show !!
Hope this helps!
