Taco (body)

  1. Eye and mouth on "beanie"

  1. Peek a Boo back eye

  1. Spiral tail

  1. Legs ( like a forward & backward 7)

  2. Draw in tree limb. 2 horizontal & parallel lines. Top like should touch bottom of "7" leg.

  1. Foot

The are like 2 big "C"s for foot and 2 little "c"s for toes.

Or you can use Watercolor Crayons

Are does not have to be fully filled in.

Leave white room for it to fill in when water is applied.

Apply water to crayon. Start at one end and work way down.

Glue down onto colored construction paper. Use crayons to make patchy scribbles of colors that are in your chameleon's body.

I used a peeled black crayon around edges to emphasize center colors and subject.

Adding depth & space with foliage.

Using green paper, draw leaves of many sizes. Outline with black market and use green and white crayons to color along lines marker lines (adds form).

Drawing some larger leaves off edge will make it seem like we are peeking in on our chameleon.

Cut and glue foliage.
