A story + Art = A great stART!!!
For this week's project we read The Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle and did A shape Firefly.... I thought it would be great color/shape/follow directions review as well as a cute project.... Ryleigh's favorite part of the story is the end...where the fireflies all light up...
The Firefly is made up entirely by shapes of different color: Hearts, Oval, Circles, Rectangles, Triangle, Stars...I chose different colors to represent the color style found in most Eric Carle books....
Putting on the light-up part..(triangle)...
I had them also add a yellow circle sticker for the actual light...

These turned out SO good. I love that they are made out of shapes! Thanks for the great idea!
Ship-shape fun!
We spotted our first firefly of the season this week. It did look a little lonely...beautiful and colorful craft!
I love this craft. It turned out so cute and such a great learning one too. We did a firefly hunt last week. I'll have to remember your project for our next firefly evening.
The stars were a great idea. I love the shapes you were able to use.
It's one of a few Carle books that we haven't read yet, and the finished project looks awesome. Anna quite enjoys directional art when she is in the mood for art at all :)
We love how it lights up, too. That's a great art project.
I loe Eric Carle books...almost picked this one up at the library yesterday.
