Ostrich...

Ostriches are fascinating birds.  These flightless birds have huge eyes which are actually bigger than their brains! This special feature gives them excellent eyesight. They have sturdy legs and a bulky body covered with feathers. It cannot fly but can run extremely fast. The ostrich is the world's largest bird and they lay the largest eggs in the world.  During this Invitation to Create, children talked about bird body parts while they experimented with how to make feather markings using paint and a fork.  These types of art projects inspire children to teach for common house items then use them as tools or art supplies. Process-based art allow children to think outside the box and become innovators.
They used dot markers on butcher paper to dot letters and sorted letters with stickers. They used magnifiers to investigate different bird feathers and match the bird with the feathers.
