  • Each Cub Scout will need their Tiger handbook, page 55 
  • Scissors, one for each Cub Scout 
  • Crayons, enough to share 
  • 8 ½” x 11” various colors of construction paper 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Set up the meeting location with space for Cub Scouts and adult partners to complete the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Share with the Cub Scouts and adult partners that for this acidity you will make art from shapes.  Inform the Cub Scouts that shapes are all around us and if we look, we can see circles, squares, triangles, and other shapes in everyday objects like a car, a house, or even a tree.   
  2. Have Cub Scouts with help from their adult partners cut out the shapes from page 55 of their Tiger handbook. 
  3. They can use the shapes to then cut out shapes from the different colored construction paper to make a work of art.   
  4. Share with the Cub Scouts that their art can be abstract if they want to.  Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent anything in real life but uses shapes, forms, colors, and textures to make art. 
  5. Have Cub Scouts and adult partners make their art from the shapes and then share it with the den when they are done.
