1st grade has been working on their Eric Carle Mr. Seahorses for a couple of classes now, and they're doing a great job! Thank you to Art with Mrs. Gianneto for this great idea! Check out the details and videos below to see how we created these lovelies!
Materials:
Day 1: We read the book Mr. Seahorse, by Eric Carle, and then we set to work drawing our own!
