❉ Magic with fingers

Take a look at the picture. Can you distinguish the thumb

prints from the other finger prints.

In the same way, using ink or water colours, make pictures

of animals. Make pictures using your own imagination. Do not

copy the ones shown above. You can use the pictures you have

made to decorate your school and home.


❉ Let us have some fun

In your notebook

♦ Draw a picture of an animal that

you have seen.

Make groups of three children each.

Each group will take a white paper.

1. In each group, one child will

draw the face and neck of an

animal at the top of the paper

and hide it by folding this part.

2. The second child will draw the

body of another animal in the

centre of the paper and hide it

by folding the paper.

3. The third child will draw the feet

of yet another animal.

4. Now, unfold the paper and look

at the picture.

Does it not look like a funny

animal!

Jigsaw puzzle

In a jigsaw puzzle, a picture is cut in such a way that one has

to really think hard to fit the picture together.

Now, make a jigsaw puzzle using a picture of any animal.

Paste the picture on a cardboard. Now, cut the cardboard along

the edges of the picture. Cut this cardboard into unequal pieces.

Give these pieces to your friends. Ask them to put the pieces

together and identify the animal.
