Today we are going to be doing a fun project where you are going to be very creative! You are going to make a drawing around some different objects that you are going to find around the house! In the video, you are going to see exactly what I mean. DO NOT do any of the same objects in the same way that they do in the video. Put your thinking cap on…You can use the same objects but not the same way. You should be creative and think of your own ideas, not copy their ideas. So, for example, you can use an eraser, but not for a nose, like they did in the video. Your eraser could be a skateboard or a gift box under a Christmas tree, a dog’s body or something else!
