Second grade students learned that there are many different varieties of toucan birds that live in many parts of the world; their one common attribute is their colorful bill. While its size may deter predators, it is of little use combating them. THe toucan's bill is useful as a feeding tool. The birds use them to reach fruit on branches that are too small to suport their weight, and also to skin their pickings. In addition to fruit, toucans eat insects and sometimes young birds, eggs or lizards. Students drew their toucan birds and added color with dry pastels exploring blending.
