Jaguars
by Julie Guidone

Summary: Wonderful photos help tell the story of the jaguar as he roams the dark rain forest.

Mine looks a little panicked...but our boys love him!

What You'll Need:

• Orange or yellow foam sheet/construction paper
• Scissors
• Pencil {to outline/trace letter} 
• Black yarn
  
• Marker/Pen
• Googly eye
  
• Glue

How to make the 'J' Jaguar:

1. Trace and cut an uppercase 'J' out of the yellow/orange foam sheet or construction paper. I used a foam sheet that was about 4" x 5" in size.
2. Using the excess foam, cut out small ears, four legs/feet and a face for your jaguar.
   
3. Draw spots all over the letter J to give your jaguar some spots.
4. Glue on the legs, ears and face. Add the eye too!
5. Using the tip of your pen/pencil, poke a hole to thread the yarn through for a tail.
6. Draw claws on your jaguars feet as well as a mouth and nose for his face.
   
7. Don't forget to color in his ears!
