Eric Carle Author Study

Eric Carle Unit

Of course we had to start with "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". 

We made tissue paper caterpillars!

Then we did a days of the week book by writing the days of the week and drawing what the caterpillar ate each day.

"A House For Hermit Crab"

This was one of the kids favorite activities.

I set up a little 'store' with some art supplies. Each child was given a cup full of change. One by one they could come to the store and buy materials to decorate their house for hermit crab. They came out so cute and the kids had a great time!

Mister Seahorse Paintings

"Little Cloud"

One of the most simple, yet interesting projects.

I gave each child a dark blue piece of paper. We put a squirt of white paint in the middle and then folded the paper in half. Then on a sentence strip they had to write what they saw. It was so interesting to see them really use their imagination. 

"The Lonely Firefly"

Follow directions to assemble a firefly!

Brown Bear Measurement

"The Very Busy Spider"

Handprint spiders, perfect decorations for Halloween :)
