Camouflage can make a fun craft project for you and/or your children. It is a simple product and can be done with things you probably already have around the house.
All you need is an assortment of construction paper; some old science or nature magazines with pictures of animals, insects or reptiles; a pair of scissors; an assortment of textures cut from magazine illustrations; a few glue sticks; and colored markers.
Start by going through old science or nature magazines to find interesting pictures of animals, insects or reptiles. Choose one of the pictures and carefully cut away the background so that only the animal remains.
Next, glue the picture on a piece of construction paper that is a color similar to the animal. Decide whether you want your camo to be a general resemblance or special resemblance pattern.
The next step is to create an environment for the animal. Use the colored markers, colored construction paper and/or textures cut from magazine illustrations to create your animal's habitat.
When your picture is finished, and after the glue dries, show it to others and see how quickly they can find the animal.
