Painted African Elephants 2nd Grade

Love this project from DEEP SPACE SPARKLE! She gives detailed instructions on how to draw the elephant.  The 2nd graders were able to follow along with the drawing lesson easily.
 
I gave them white and black tempera paint to mix their own gray. When elephants were dry we cut them out and used oil pastels to make a hot, dry looking "Africa" background. Then we glued our elephants onto the background. 
 
I LOVE that even though every student had the same drawing lesson the elephants are all unique in size, shape and color.  Super job 2nd graders!
