A story + Art = A great stART!
For this week's stART project we read Eency Weency Spider. It is super cute...there are 10 spiders trying to get up the water spout...and (I don't want to ruin the ending...but...) it rains and they all get washed out...but the eency weency spider climbs up... It's great for counting practice.
While I was at my friend Dawn's house earlier this week, I noticed a very cute (and practical) project that she had done with her daughter...it was an umbrella with numbers and stickers on it (for counting)... I thought Ryleigh would like to do the project...and since our story had rain...that is how they are [loosely] tied together...
First Ryleigh painted with watercolors on the umbrella....

After the paint had dried, we put the numbers and stickers on the umbrella....

What a great art/math activity. : )
OOOH, I like that umbrella!
This umbrella looks so colorful, and I liked how you added a math component to the book.
Those touchy, button books like that are always a hit. What a beautiful counting craft!
Wow! How pretty! I will have to do this with Red Ted soon, he is just starting to get interested in counting. Wonderful - simple but effective!
What a great way to integrate art and math! I love it! I'll have to file it away.
The umbrella came out so well.It really looks like it has been rained on.
Great counting practice! I love cutting out those early finger paintings into shapes.
We just did a number coded coloring activity! Great way to add counting to the mix! lovely colorful umbrella.
I love this project, it really did come out great!! Emily loves those button books too. Thanks for linking up to stART :0)
How cute! Painting, stickers, learning colors AND numbers. Amazing.
