Newspaper Animal Heads by Sharon Gale

This is a great little painting project that doesn’t take too long to do. We began by drawing an outline of a large but simply shaped animal head on two whole sheets of newspaper folded in their natural crease line. It’s important not to make the ears too narrow as eventually the head will be stuffed with crumpled newspaper or tissues.

To help younger children in the group I created some animal head templates in advance, this is also a good idea if you are short of time.
