This activity was done over Easter time but could be used to make any kind of animal. We read the a book about plaid and used vocabulary like lines, warm colors, cool colors, and color wheel. As an extention activity I would have the students bring in something plaid they have at home and have a "plaid day" on a Friday at school. During plaid day, the students would wear their plaid they found from home and we would go over the various types of plaid one can have. The students would then be able to paint something plaid using two different colors. The students would get many different examples to choose from and I think they would really grasp the concept of the plaid pattern through these exercises.
