Fjällräven - No, it's not just a brand of clothing, it means "polar fox" in Swedish.
These little foxes are so beautiful but so difficult to observe in the snow.
Here, I'm proposing a painting-cutting-gluing activity that younger kids really enjoy.
Materials:
- watercolour paper
- fox pattern (download below) :
- scissors
- watercolours (liquids ones are the best)
- brushes
- glue
Optional: salt crystals
Step-by-step :
1.Dilute liquid watercolour in water (1:6) or paint several layers with solid watercolour on white paper.
2. Add some blue and purple shades
3. Optional: add salt crystals to the paint, which is still wet, to create a crystal effect. Leave to dry, then remove the salt.
4. Print and cut the different pieces of the fox pattern.
5. Glue the different geometrical forms to recreate the fox.
