Zebra Stripes

Materials     
1 sheet of white construction paper
1 sheet of black construction paper
Glue stick

Directions      Tearing paper is fun and a great way to practice fine motor skills!  Ditto for using a glue stick to glue the torn paper down!  Take the black sheet of construction paper and show your child how to tear the paper from top to bottom width-wise. Let him try it!  You may have to assist at first by holding the paper at the top so he can tear it.  It doesn’t matter if the torn pieces are uniform or not.  When your child has finished, let him use the glue stick to glue the pieces to the white sheet of paper, with a little space between each strip.  When he’s done, his paper will look like the side of a zebra!
