Gorilla Art Projects

A couple simple art activities we did:

The children painted their hands white (they loved that) and compared their handprint to a gorilla's handprint. I had this book (Actual Size by Steve Jenkins—great book) from the library and I just made a copy of the gorilla-hand page for each child.

We also had fun with this step-by-step method of How to Draw a Gorilla. I don't think Sam is crazy about this kind of drawing lesson (he prefers teaching principles and foundational skills and so forth), but he wasn't here so it was the best I could do! :)
