How to make a simple, easy and fun paper cow.
This simple artwork is a hot any day for kids. It is simple to do and requires no skill. It makes a shape identification class too, as it uses shapes like crescent, rectangle, circle and oval. Let’s get started.
Materials needed
- A piece of card from an old corrugated card box, or just paper.
- Two small buttons for the nose, and two googly eyes. If you do not have googly eyes, just use a marker to draw the eyes after the artwork is complete.
- A small picnic paper plate.
- Some cutting and gluing tools. Adult supervision needed at all times.
Steps
- Cut out two rectangles 6×4 inches and 5x3inches. Cut out two small ovals for the ears. Trim off or cut out a crescent from the paper plate (as shown above) to be used for the horns.
- Trim or round the corners off the rectangles. Divide the crescent from the paper plate into two.
- Paint the horns black and the smaller rectangle pink.
- Color the bigger rectangle and the ovals white.
- Glue the horns to the shorter end of the bigger rectangle.
- Glue the ears, the pink snout and glue the buttons for the nose. Complete the artwork by gluing the eyes.
