snail drawings

Observations of a snail
5 year olds
This was a fun day. I collected several garden snails and put them on boards on each table. The children sat around with their sketch paper and black pens. They drew what they saw. I didn't want squashed snails, so I asked the children to let me know when their snails wandered off the boards. I would retrieve them. I was busy!
The children's language was rich and drawings were detailed. I haven't recorded them sadly.
They then drew the snail in white wax crayon, on a large piece of white paper. They put dark brown dye over top.
