  • Project Type: Art
  • Theme: Around the World

Materials Needed:
watered down paints in squirt bottles, salad spinner, card stock paper, Life in the Rain Forest by William K. Gibbons, watercolors, printed templates (of any animal desired)

Step 1: Read students different sections from Life in the Rain Forest, or a similar nonfiction text. 
Step 2: Ask students to come up, one at a time, to make a salad spinner snake. Other students may paint with watercolor paints while they wait. 
Step 3: To make a salad spinner snake, students will take their snake, which is printed on card stock and pre-cut by the teacher, and put it in the salad spinner. Then, using the watered down paint in squirt bottles, the teacher will ask students to choose their colors and a design. The student will then be invited to spin their artwork in the salad spinner.
