A Story + Art = a great stART!!!
For our story this week we read Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert... in which they plant many different flowers (and plants) that make up the colors of the rainbow. The book starts with seeds and ends with a beautiful garden rainbow. Ryleigh loves rainbows....so this book was an instant hit with her.

The book starts with seeds and ends with a beautiful garden rainbow. Ryleigh loves rainbows....so this book was an instant hit with her. For our project I had the girls use star stickers of many different colors to represent the "seeds" of the garden/rainbow. Then they used watercolors to make the garden grow. At the end they had beautiful rainbow gardens (pictures)...
Ryleigh peeling the stickers off (a great fine motor activity)
Starting to paint her garden...
She was very meticulous and made sure that she painted all of the stars....
Ryleigh has been practicing writing her letters lately...if you look closely you will see a "H" at the top of her painting...
The finished painting...a rainbow of colors...
