In the Art Room - #3 Squirrels

I've mentioned before that I often give the kids a starting off point - it's never a detailed drawing, but rather a line or geometric shape.  I've done a few projects that begin with a letter or number and then I teach the kids how to turn it into an animal.  The first graders each received a large paper with a #3 already drawn in the center.  Then they followed along with me to turn that 3 into a squirrel!
