Red barn art project for toddlers

RED BARN ART PROJECT FOR TODDLERS

Our book of the week is "Big Red Barn", so it is inspired by it. We started with the barn that I drew remembering my art class lesson in high-school about perspective (I'm not an artist and we don't have to be). The grass is a 11 inches piece of green streamer. I spread some glue on the barn then asked the children to flip it over and put it the the paper. Then I put glue on the barn and gave them little craft sticks. The following days we add a pig, a horse and a sheep.

I'm not an artist, I Googled "how to draw a pig and I to draw a horse and followed the directions. If I sis it you can do it too.
