   Disney Pixar Squash Book



I'm going to be teaching this to elementary students as young as first grade so I kept the images very simple and easy to draw, but you could get as complex as you wanted with this.

I started out by making the squash book itself before adding the images. 

I used construction paper and did two squares instead of 3.

Here is a tutorial that explains how to make your squash book...


It seems a bit tricky at first but once you practice it a few times it's easy!

Next I cut regular printer paper into 4" squares to attach to the squares of the book.


So you are covering all of the squares front and back.  I recommend only gluing the corners instead of gluing the entire square down because of the fold.


Here are some step by step drawing instructions - they are all simple shapes and lines put together to make a simple version of the character from the movies, then colored with colored pencils.















I used a couple of tutorials from you tube to make Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck:

Have fun creating!
I'll post some completed student books after I teach this lesson!
