Grandad's Island

When Grandad got to his island, it looked like a jungle. He found lots of animals and colourful plants. I would like you to draw Grandad's island using either pencils, pens, crayons or paint. Just use whatever you have at home. I've included some pictures of the island for you to look at. Think about using lots of bright colours for the different animals. Look carefully at the shape of the leaves on the different plants. You might want to add some extra detail to your picture, that we don't see in the story. If you need help drawing your jungle animals, click on the video link underneath the pictures.
