Winter Wildlife Puzzle Mural

Instructions

Create a 25.5 x 22” puzzle mural for your classroom. There are two Winter Wildlife Puzzle Murals available:

1) Black and white version for adding a coloring task to the project.

2) Full color version

Materials included in each 14-page PDF:
• 6-pages of black and white cover sheets with wildlife clues and windows that are dotted for easy cut outs (ready for coloring)
• 6-pages of under sheets with labeled wildlife (in black and white for coloring)
• 2-pages of mural maps (showing over page and under pages opened)

Instructions:
1) Print out the 6 cover sheets and color.
2) Using the mural map as an easy guide, tape together to create a 25.5” wide and 22” tall mural (print out on heavier paper for a sturdier mural surface).
3) Use an exacto knife or box cutter to cut out windows (on three sides). Be safe - cut onto a thick scrap of cardboard to protect classroom surfaces.
3) Print out the matching under sheets - color.
4) Line up the matching under sheets and tape in place.
5) Mount on oak tag or cardboard for a sturdier mural.
6) You can use round-head, pronged fasteners to keep the windows closed between uses. Poke a hole next
to each window (on the right side), push the fastener through from behind and use the spread prongs to
keep windows closed.
