✨NEW READY SET DRAW! VIDEO✨
🦒🦈🪶 What do you get when you add a giraffe’s head to a shark’s body and give it an ostrich’s legs? A GIRSHARKSTRITCH!
It's a CHIMERA straight out of the imagination of Nick Bruel, creator of the New York Times bestselling Bad Kitty series. It's also a super fun way to introduce a character from Greek mythology to your class or after-school club in UNDER 10 MINUTES! All you need is paper and something to draw with, and Nick will show your kiddos how to sketch a CHIMERA of their own. 🎨
🖍️ Here's how it works: get your class to think of animal names and write them on scraps of paper. Drop them in a bowl & pull out three at random -- first is the head, second the body, third the legs. Then draw!
💡 Nick’s got a group version to try, too. One child picks an animal & draws the head, then passes the paper on; the next picks & draws the body, & so on!
🎬 Join Nick here or through the 🔗 in our bio 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadySetDrawWithNickBruel
🌟 Don't forget to share a 📸 of what your kids come up with in the comments! We'll feature our favorites here!
