This project was based on Eric Carle’s work. We had to paint random colors and textures onto paper, then let them dry. Next we drew story idea onto 12x18 inch paper. We used that drawing to cut out the shapes of our drawing on the colored paper. For my story idea, I chose to make an elephant. The words on my paper are “E is for elephant.” The only troubles I had were when I needed to use an exacto knife when all I had were scissors. I also wish I would have cut out my grass before I started my elephant.
For an extension activity, a teacher could have the students make an ecosystem. They could cut out the colored paper and glue it onto another piece of paper.
