Story Collage

This week in class we talked about Eric Carle and how he created his books. We did the projected and mimicked his work. First, we took blank sheets of paper and painted them many different ways to get a swirled look. Next, we sketched out a part of a story that we wanted to create. After that we took our painted sheets and cut out the parts we wanted and made our storybook page. My story collage was inspired by the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". It was and still is my favorite story book so I took a page out of that and recreated it with Eric Carle's style.


An extension activity off of this would be to recreate a scene from another book that they are reading at the time whether it has pictures or not. They can use their imagination this way and use their senses to be a part of the story.
