stART: If I Were A Lion

Izzie is studying the letter "L" this week. So, for her stART project, we read, If I Were A Lion. It's a cute book about a little girl who has to sit in time-out. While there, she let's her imagination run wild...pretending to be different animals.

Izzie really wanted to use scissors for her craft....

Ummm...as you can see, she's still having a difficult time cutting. However, she really likes using scissors! I did find these Maped Koopy scissors with a spring that are super easy to manipulate....but, she still needs some more practice.

So, while she was punching out the little circles, I quickly cut out a non-destroyed circle before she noticed.

On to gluing the mane...then, adding face features...

The completed lion....GRRRRR!!!!

  5. I love that lion - so cute! Once I challenged my son to draw something entirely out of circles and he drew a lion like this!!! Scissor skills are so tough to master. We haven't read this book, but I'm adding it to my library list.
