Grazing Animals
Since it is summer, many range grasses are out right now. Many animals are dependent on grass for its nutritional value. Can you think of animals besides cows that eat grass?
For this project you will need a piece of paper, glue, old magazines and/or newspapers, crayons, markers or paints and your imagination. Go collect some grass. It can be from your yard, a field or pasture. Glue the grass to the bottom of the piece of paper. Then draw or paint animals that eat grass on the paper. You can also look through magazines and newspapers and cut out pictures of animals that eat grass and also glue them on the paper.
