I don't know what age you are, but you can make it out of paper/glue (paper mache.) Take strips of paper and use slightly water-down glue you can get at any craft shop (the white glue that dries clear.) Let harden, and when shaped and finish then use craft paints to give it a more realistic look. Go onto the Internet and look up a picture of Mount Rushmore so you can get as much detail into your project as possible.

no one's. Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln were always the four that were intended for this project, but a bill was introduced shortly after the carving of Mount Rushmore began to also add the head of civil-rights leader Susan B. Anthony, but it was vetoed due to insufficient funds. furthermore, there had been a plan to carve the presidents from heads to waist, but again due to insufficient funds this was never done.

Why is Theodore Roosevelt on Mt Rushmore?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Thomas Jefferson, one of the most prominent of the founding fathers, is credited as the author of the Declaration of Independence. He became the third president of the United States. His administration bought from France the land on which Mt. Rushmore stands. He sent the Lewis and Clarke expedition to explore that territory when it was still unsettled. He, more than the others, perhaps, belongs on that mountain.
