Paper weaving is a simple technique that can create a magnificent result, also it is great for fine motor skills. On this project Marcus weaved the paper and turned into this beautiful house (yes, those are cementery stones and a bat flying around)

Again the great Eric Carle. We made a painted paper lesson, it is such a fun technique, messy but fun. We first read the story, then we made the background paper and the polar bear paper. We used sponges, it is a very effective and fast technique and students love it so much. We limited the amount of colours to choose for the background to only 2.
Second day we trace the parts of the polar bear (stencils previously made) on the back side of the white painted paper, cut them and glue them to the background. Picture Alex holding his master piece We found this superfun book (actually our fantastic librarian did) and we created this 2 lesson project. Day 1: We read the story, painted the background and the paper that we will use to make the rabbit. Next lesson children will retrace some stencils of the parts of the rabbit, cut them and assamble them all (check day 2) We all love Eric Carle and his wonderful world. This time was the turn of the book "Polar bear, polar bear, what do you hear?" It's such a fun book. We made few stencils so the students trace, cut and glu on previously painted papers. Here's Caroline in action!
Project inspired by the great Eric Carle. Duration: 2 lessons 1 hour each We found the book “The artist who painted a blue horse”, beautiful book by the way (as all the Eric Carle´s books). I am a big fan of Eric Carle´s, I love all his stories and his way of making art. We came up with the idea to make a stencil of the different parts of the horse, what made the lesson goes way smoother. That was an important part of the success of the lesson. |
