From pandas to penguins, as many as 6,000 plant and animal species become extinct each year. How can you help to erase the problem of these endangered creatures?
1.
Why do animals become endangered? Changes in the environment, poachers, chemicals and toxic materials, human overpopulation, and demands for certain species and just some of the reasons animals become endangered or extinct.
2.
Research how you can help to erase the problem of endangered animals. Brainstorm what you and your classmates can do locally. What changes need to happen in the world? While the ideas are flowing, draw a picture with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils showing what you learned on white paper.
3.
You might show part of the rainforest being chopped down, taking away habitats for many animals. How about drawing houses being built on farmland or in a forest, causing animals to lose their homes and nesting sites? Include a way to stop this destruction to save precious animals, insects, and birds.
4.
Use the eraser on your drawing tools to add meaning to your picture. You can erase words from large areas of color. Or you can add dimension, shading, and texture by removing some color. After erasing, add another color in that spot to form stripes, dots, or textured feathers or fur.
5.
With your classmates, hang your posters where lots of people will see your message! Libraries, Extension Services, and other groups often welcome student displays.
