stART - The Foot Book

A Story + Art = A great stART!!!!



This week we are doing letter Ff...so we read the Foot Book by Dr. Suess...how fun is Dr. Suess? ... Anyway for our project we did Footprint Ghosts... (tying into both letter Ff and Halloween...)... I had previously done this project when Ryleigh was about 1 1/2.... it was a little easier this time around...I had the girls do white footprints and then when they dried we used black marker to make the faces...

Me...painting Ryleigh's foot...

stART- The Very Hungry Caterpillar

A Story + Art = A Great stART!

This week we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. In it the Caterpillar eats and eats until he is no longer hungry...and then becomes a beautiful butterfly. For our art project we did foot print butterflies. I have seen them on many blogs and loving hand and foot prints the way I do...it was only a matter of time....

Ryleigh LOVED this project...and Braeden did his very first stART project...he was less then thrilled...but now we have a cute baby feet butterfly... I did the ART part of the stART project while some of the girls were over for "school"/"playing projects"...anyway...we are having a small problem loading my pictures onto the computer so Michelle was nice enough to send me a finished picture that she took so I could put the post up for Thursday.....Thanks Michelle!!!

Ryleigh's Butterfly is in Yellow and Braeden's is in Blue
Ryleigh 35 3/4 Months...Braeden 8 1/2 Months...
