Symmetry Aliens

Materials:
- Construction Paper
- Pencils
- Scissors
- Glue

We first folded a piece of 12" x 18" construction paper in half the long way, like a hot dog. Starting near the top of the fold and ending towards the bottom, the students drew an interesting line. Keeping the paper folded in half, cut along the line. Open up and this will be the body.

Folding scraps of construction paper in half, I had the students draw features to add on to the bodies. When they cut out, they would have two identical pieces to glue.
