Watch Out for Endangered Species
Children have a natural interest in diverse creatures. With this activity, they find out about the importance of preserving endangered species.
1. Look up information about endangered species, either in books or on the Internet. Find some detailed pictures.
2. On light-colored construction paper, draw a portrait of your favorite endangered animal with Crayola® Colored Pencils. Be sure to include plants and other animals it needs to prosper.
3. Cut out your endangered animal, and its environment, with Crayola Scissors. Glue your drawings to a contrasting color of construction paper with a Crayola Glue Stick.
4. Include a message for people who look at your drawing. Alert them to the importance of helping endangered species.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
