Challenge students to invent an entirely new species by combining features from three different animals.

Students select animals, combine their characteristics and draw their impossible creature before developing it with detail, shading, texture and colour. They can then name their animal and explain where it lives, what it eats and its special features.

Includes visual examples, animal prompts and self-assessment.

Great for developing imagination, creature design, drawing and visual communication, and ideal for Open Evenings, transition, KS2–KS3 Art and cover lessons.
