Little Gorilla Craft

March 30, 2011 by Maureen Spell 2 Comments

 
Letter G was the letter of the week, and we read Little Gorilla by Ruth Bornstein. This is a cute book about a little gorilla who is loved by everyone in the jungle, but when he starts to grow big, he isn’t sure if everyone will still love him.

We made a craft to show Little Gorilla growing up.

Supplies:
washable brown paint
brown yarn
gorilla face printable
banner paper or white cardstock
glue
piece of colored cardstock or craft foam

First get your student’s foot full of brown paint. I covered the bottom of a plastic shoe-box with paint and had my daughters step in it and then step onto banner paper.

Next, cut out the footprint after the paint has dried. I had three of my children do this craft so that we could have 3 different sized gorillas.

After the footprint is cut-out, adhere onto colored cardstock or craft foam. Cut small pieces of brown yarn and glue onto the top of the foot.
