Cohen's Birthday Party was at our neighborhood clubhouse, so I had a fairly large space to work with and I needed to fill it up. His party was an animal theme, because that is his thing these days. We spend the day making various animal noises at each other, so I thought I'd run with it. Here's how you make the animals.
Supplies:
Your favorite image in a book or copied onto white paper
A tracing, projector machine
Tempera paint
paint brushes
dropcloth or beach towel
paper towels
water and soap
1/2 inch foam insulation from your local harware store- this comes in sheets of like 8' X 4'. I purchased 4 and had leftovers. $5 each
Grey marker
Trace you desired image onto the foam board with a grey marker using your tracing machine. Paint the image just as it appears in the book, working from the inside out.
I did this in my classroom, too to fill some large spaces and it worked great. I used a hot glue gun and double sided foam mounting tape to affix the image to the concrete walls when complete. They stayed up for the entire school year.
