A Story + Art = A great stART!
This week we read The Little Cloud by Eric Carle. In it the Little Cloud separates from the bigger clouds and takes on many shapes (an airplane, a rabbit, etc.). Fear not...it goes back with the bigger clouds at the end...
For our project this week, I had the girls paint clouds (or the appearance of) outdoors on packing paper. They painted the colors with paintbrushes and sponges. Then they used bubble wrap to paint with white...to make cloud shapes... The different textures added to the depth of the painting...and they each had fun with the bubble wrap...
Painting with some colors...

Laying the bubble wrap down...
Lifting it up...
The finished project.... what do you think the cloud looks like? I think it looks like the Letter Y.

Such a fun idea! We have this book, so I am quite sure we will be giving this a try in the future. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCute idea! I would have never used bubble wrap and it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project!!! I love that you were able to work outside too :0)
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to stART!!!!!
Neat! I really like this craft...it's something different to make clouds.
ReplyDeleteBubble wrap made perfect clouds. My post is going up tonight. Please stop by.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Gotta try that. Usually bubble wrap doesn't last that long around here though. I am (as is the rest of the family) addicted to popping those things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
Cute clouds!
