They worked on this project in their recycling class.Your child can choose any animal he likes (bear, turtle, snail, beaver, etc…), let him color the CD with markers. Cut the body parts of the animal your child wants from a cardboard. For the snail they cut his body, for a bear you should cut his head, arms and legs. And let your kid to decorate it. Don’t forget to add eyes. To finish, they glue a Popsicle stick on the back side of the CD. They took a cardboard (from a cereal box), cut out a little stripe at the bottom of the board so that the stick could go inside and your kid can move the snail from one side to another (like it is taking a walk).
