This Animal Art Journal is a unique way to teach art elements to older kids (3rd-7th grade). The workbook-style adds a level of independent learning and ownership. Kids will love traveling to each continent, drawing animals from each, and journaling about their research.

MY FAVORITE PART I absolutely love all the Imagine It! pages. Each page has an empty jar on it and is found at the end of the unit. Kids "fill" the jar with items that they liked learning to draw from that continent, the animal they learned to sketch, and some skills from the element of art. Check it out in the 3rd thumbnail!

Happy adventuring!
