Read: The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle
Craft: Raised Salt Painting - inspired by the blog One Perfect Day.
As you read the book this week you will notice that the spiderweb is
raised in the book! This art activity will mimic the art in the book.
Put your paper on the cookie sheet. Depending on your child's age,
either you or they squirt liquid glue on the page, trying to make it
look like a spiderweb. Next you pour salt all over the paper. After
you have covered the paper, shake it off onto the cookie sheet so you
can save it and use it on another project. In spare cups, make colored
water using water and food coloring. Using an eye dropper, squirt a few
drops of colored water on the salt and watch as the color travels on
its own down the line of salt/glue!
Supplies:
- book
- black or white construction paper
