See Your Own Song

Over the year we have read many Eric Carle books and so to celebrate his birthday this Friday we decided to do some texture painting Eric Carle style. We got out the cotton buds, sponges, paint brushes, toothbrushes, textured rolling pins, leaves, carpet squares, corrugated board, bubble wrap, duplo etc and of course paint in our favourite colours and got to work.

We then watched this video on YouTube of Eric Carle's book I See A Song.

Inspired, We put on some classical music and started creating our own 'songs' in collage. 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I see a song, I paint music, I hear colour.

I touch the rainbow, and the deep spring in the ground.

My music talks, my colours dance.

Come, listen and let your imagination

See your own song. 

- I See A Song by Eric Carle
