going zany for zebras

Back when we were studying the African savanna, the kids and I spent a morning making these cute zebras:

I printed off a zebra coloring page to use as a template and cut out zebra shapes from black and white construction paper. The kids put on masking tape and paper strips for stripes. We also dipped marbles in white and black paint and rolled them all over the zebras for a funky abstract look. Also, check out this 2-D craft stick zebra Sir I. made last year.
