We started with a book about the Chisholm trail then talked about longhorns we had seen before launching into creating our own from paper bags. First we stuffed torn newspaper into the bags to give them some shape and scrunched the end into a nose finishing with a staple. We added ears and faces then made the "long horns" out of a chenille stem and taped it onto the top of the bag. A few of the students added mouths and other details that they felt the longhorn needed to have. We ran out of time before the bags got tails. Interesting way to focus on the history of Texas.
