This week, we used the book, A Giraffe for France. I bought it a couple of years ago to use a replacement for the out-of-print book, The Giraffe that Walked to Paris. It is a longer book than most of the FIAR titles but it is lovely. There’s a great map of the giraffe’s trip and beautiful illustrations throughout.
Inspired by last week, we did some drawing again! I’ll put the pictures below:
My drawing.
Stephen’s. I was impressed with his work and effort on this one.
Zac chose a different picture this week. Apparently, they made up this coat for the giraffe to wear in France. Here’s a close up as well:
Zac has done a lovely picture. He started with the feet and worked up. Realising it would not fit on one piece of paper, he just grabbed another piece and kept going.
Adam chose yet another picture from the book, one with the giraffe’s tongue out. In the book, it is reaching for some leaves to eat. Adam struggled with this so I let him keep it small and simple (one of those battles it wasn’t worth waging).
I might put up a couple of pictures from the book another time. It’s late now…
