First, we painted with a variety of sponges and stampers to create beautiful texture sheets.
Next, shapes were cut out and the seahorse began to take shape.
Finally,we added coral, seaweed, and a starfish.
The students loved painting with a Q-tip to add details.
The students created beautiful and colorful seahorses!
This unit of art culminated with each class writing Mr. Carle a letter.
We are eager to send him our letters and hope to hear back from him soon.

Love this project. I have to ask, did you hear back from your letter to Eric Carle? I am a K-1 art teacher and we did a lesson based on him by making our own pattern papers and then cutting out for a collage and I sent picture samples and a letter and never heard, I was surprised.
