The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I am so impressed with how our Very Hungry Caterpillar craft projects came out I just had to post them. I know I haven't updated the blog in awhile. In the morning we learnt about how Eric Carle creates the pictures in his books, by painting tissue paper and using different techniques and mediums and then piecing them together. So for about an hour in the morning the kids used various tools and types of paint to paint green, blue, yellow and red tissue paper. Then while it dried we went to our normal routine. in the afternoon the tissue paper was cut into circles and other "details" for the caterpillar. The kids had a great time. What do you think?
