Supplies:

• Stamp Pads in Various Colors
• Ultra Fine Sharpie Markers (also Watercolor Brush Makers will look nice)
• Sketch Pad or White Paper (White Cardstock is a nice option)

Giraffe Instructions:

1. Make a horizontal (sideways) orange thumbprint. This will be the giraffe’s body/belly.
2. Above it, make a second thumbprint, slightly pointing down. This is the giraffe’s head.
3. Connect the two with two long lines to form a neck with an orange sharpie marker.
4. Add four long orange rectangle legs.
5. Make a simple line for the tail at the end of the body.
6. On top of the head, make two pointy ears.
7. On either side of the ears, make the giraffe’s ossicones. These are the horns on top of the giraffe’s head.
8. Add a little hair down the giraffe’s neck and on top of the head.
9. Color in a bit of hair on the end of the giraffe’s tail.
10. Make a smiling face for your giraffe!
11. Cover your giraffe in brown spots.
12. Using a gray marker, make hooves at the end of each foot with a simple rectangle shape.

Lion Instructions:

1. Start with a horizontal thumbprint. This is your lion’s body.
2. Make a second horizontal thumbprint right above the first. This is his head.
3. Using an orange sharpie, make two round ears on the top of the head, 4 legs and feet and a long skinny tail.
4. Using a brown sharpie, draw a mane around the lion’s head. Add a bit of fluff to the end of the tail.
5. Make your lion’s face with two eyes, a heart shaped nose, whiskers, and a mouth.
6. Color in the mane.

Monkey Instructions:

1. Make a horizontal thumbprint. This is your monkey’s body.
2. Make a vertical (up and down) thumbprint above, to the side, slightly off the body. This is the monkey’s head.
3. Make a third thumbprint, horizontally, over the monkey’s head, connecting the body and head together. This completes the monkey’s face.
4. Using a brown Sharpie, add two round ears on top of the head. Also draw a long curly tail at the end of the body and four legs.
5. On the top part of the monkey’s head draw two eyes. On the horizontal part of the head, draw his/her two nostrils and a big smile.
6. At the end of each leg draw his feet.

Snake Instructions:

1. Choose your colors of ink.
2. Make a horizontal thumbprint in the first color.
3. Behind that, using your pointer finger, use a different color ink to make a vertical fingerprint.
4. Then, go back to making a horizontal thumbprint.
5. Alternate between thumb and finger prints until your snake is the desired length.
6. Make an eye and a smile. Draw out a long pink tongue.

Tiger Instructions:

1. Begin with a horizontal (sideways) orange thumbprint. This is the tiger’s body.
2. Make a second horizontal thumbprint above and off center of the first. This is the tiger’s head.
3. Draw 2 pointy ears on top and four legs.
4. Draw a long tail at the end.
5. Make ‘V’ shapes on the tiger’s face, back and tail for his/her stripes.
