Books by Eric Carle are perfect for Kindergarten!
We love:
...just to name a few.
Over the past few weeks, we've read at least 25 books by Eric Carle. Last week, we decided to try our hand at painting like Eric Carle. Here is a link to Eric Carle's website, where he describes how he "makes" his own paper.
We use washable paint and lots of different painting materials to get our fabulous texture. I love Lakeshore Learning, and have purchased most of my painting supplies there.
We used brushes, sponges, and painting stamps to add just 3 colors to each paper.
We looked at lots of paintings by Eric Carle as inspiration.

It was messy, but so much fun!
Most of the kids had never painted with anything except brushes or hands. These painting combs are amazing, when you paint an entire paper and then drag them through. Although I suggested that kids try this, many wanted to try it their own way. I love letting kids explore with art materials.
The new techniques were exciting to try.
We'll be using our painted paper to create a class book in December.
Happy painting!
