A Story + Art = A Great stART!
Welcome to stART! I hope that you will enjoy our book and art project and maybe even share your own too! For an explanation of stART click here.
This week we read Do You Have a Hat?
by Eileen Spinelli, which is a cute rhyming book that tells about the different hats that some historical people have worn. We actually got this book for free inside a cheerios box when Emily was a baby!
We also read Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books)
by P. D. Eastman. This is one of Emily's favorite books and it has a lot of great concepts in it, such as in and out, under over, colors, stop and go. Emily's favorite part of the book is when one of the dogs say "Do you like my hat?" and the other dog says "I do not like that hat"Both of these books inspired us to make our own hats! I found the directions for folding a paper hat here and made one for Emily and one for me. Then I gave Emily some art supplies and let her decorate her hat however she wanted to.
Emily picked a green hat and wanted to color it with a green marker, green is curently her favorite color!
Emily enjoyed gluing some sequens and spangles on to her hat.
Do you like our hats???
Emily decided to try her hat on Juliette too!

She also glued some feathers on and then added some sequens and spangles on top of the feather...I was very impresed!
Our finished hats!
