[From Foreword] When Children visit the Arizona Exhibit at Phoenix Zoo - and wonder at the many birds and animals living there - they often are stimulated to seek out some art form that can help them create again those interesting birds and animals. Teachers and mothers understand this youthful excitement to activity, and, because they do, it is the purpose of this book to supply needed direction, interesting ideas, and certainly some help that's practical. Projects in the book are geared for those youngsters at the fourth grade school level, so it is important to be always mindful of an individual's ability. To excite creative thinking is the goal of the art projects. Their applications are many so variations are encouraged. They can be aids of great value while learning about desert animals.
