Safari Projects

The big 2nd grade project is safari animals.  The kids are studying biomes and the grasslands and they are all assigned a safari animal to make.  Blake was given a cape buffalo and Cody got a dung beetle.  Thank the Lord they were not both assigned large animals.  We were supposed to make them as close to life size as possible, so we chose a baby buffalo.  :)
Thank goodness for my mom's help.  She is so creative with this stuff and I don't think they would have looked near as good without her!!
It was truly a family project, and I'm proud of how hard the boys worked.  I had to do most of the paper mache-ing, but they painted and added small touches.  They are very very proud of their animals and I can't wait to see them all displayed at Open House!!
