Kindergarten Eric Carle Insects

The Kindergartners had a lot of fun with this unit, especially since most of them were already familiar with some of Eric Carle's books.  We talked about what a collage was and I showed them pictures of how Eric Carle creates his famous painted papers.  The students spent the first part of the unit making the painted papers (we needed enough different ones to share with the whole class) and then we worked on creating our larger than life insects using simple shapes.
