Went to San Diego zoo

Art

• The child observed various animals at the San Diego zoo and can recreate their appearances using different art techniques.
• The child can create a collage or a mixed media artwork inspired by the different habitats seen at the zoo.
• Through sketching or painting, the child can capture the movement and behavior of animals seen during the visit.
• The child can create a series of animal-inspired sculptures using various materials found in nature.

Encourage the child to further develop their artistic skills by organizing a mini zoo exhibit at home. They can create paper mache animals, design animal-themed masks, or even create their own zoo map. This will enhance their creativity, imagination, and attention to detail.
