You Can Draw a Toucan

The Brazilian animal I chose for 2nd grade was a Toucan. We began on blue construction paper with a black crayon and let me tell you they did an excellent job drawing. I try to break it down step by step and remind them we always cover up any mistakes with paint. A few of my 2nd graders really impressed me. This week we added the dark paint: black, brown, grey and green. Next time we will add the yellow, red and some detail on the leaves with oil pastels. I can't wait to see the outcome.
