Leaping Lizards: 3-D paper lizards

Students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade have been practicing symmetry by cutting out lizard paper crafts. I demonstrated how to draw half a lizard in varying difficulty for the students to construct their own lizard and then cut out. The project was inspired by a this post where they use scraps as a the decorations but I thought the lizards would have more personal meaning with crayons, markers, and colored pencils. Some students bent the legs to make the lizard stand better. Other students put the lizards on their arms or on their shoulders acting as if it were their real pet. It is such a fun and engaging assignment.
