Paper Plate Zebra Mask |
On one of my recent school author visits, the room where I was presenting was decorated with charming zebra masks made from paper plates. The project had been inspired by my book
A Zebra’s World. I could see that the children had looked carefully at my illustrations to make the zebra’s markings. They used black construction paper for the nose and mouth and the mane. Stripes on the face were added with black marker. Ears were cut from tan paper and glued to the back of the plate. Googly eyes were added for the final effect. Every zebra was different, just as they are in the wild. This is a fun project to do with younger elementary school students.
A Zebra's World, based on the 2006 book with the same title but now
with a shorter text and sturdier pages, brings the story of a zebra's
first year to younger readers. Follow the black and white stripes of the
young zebra as she grows up in Africa. A readable and lively text
provides a close-up look at these black and white animals in this
"anything but
black and white" book. Cut paper illustrations help
tell
the tales of these amazing animals and the world in which they
live.This
picture book follows a baby zebra from birth on the grasslands of
Africa
through the first year of its life.
