Hoppy in Plaid

Hoppy in Plaid was a lesson that featured the plaid pattern. The inspiration for the project was a story about a little girl that finds a plaid purse that will turn who ever holds it to plaid. The project was created by painting different sized horizontal and vertical stripes in complimentary colors. The shapes of the rabbit parts were cut out of the plaid painted paper and then glued to a construction paper background. The facial details were added at the end along with the cotton ball tail.
An extension activity for this project could be to have the students create other patterned animal characters. The students could then create a play or storyboard of their own creativity featuring their characters.
