This project involved making a Play-Doh creature based off of Dr. Seuss' stories. First, we drew what we thought our creature might look like. We then were to create a "creature" using Play-Do and art supplies and draw a foreground, middle ground, and background to place the creature in. We then wrote a Mad Lib telling our creatures name and things it liked to do.
For my project, I created a yellow three-legged creature with pink polka dots. He has purple arm and a purple pom pom on his head. In the foreground, I created a colorful sidewalk with bushes. In the background I drew colorful abstract trees. When creating this, I was thinking of the movie "The Lorax" based off of Dr. Seuss. My creature's name is Wobbles.
For an extension activity, students could write a short creative story about their creature, building on from their Mad Lib or creating a new story altogether. They could even get into partners and write a short story together about their and their partner's creature. The students could then get into groups and read their story to their classmates while displaying their art project.
