'Eric Carle' INSPIRED GROUP PROJECT

We’ve been looking at the Author – Eric Carle, and the way in which he creates the pictures in lots of his children’s books.  He uses a collage technique of painting backgrounds and then using the resulting paintings to create collage images.


After reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, we decided to make our very own Very Hungry Caterpillar using this same technique!  First, as a group, we painted lots of background papers and then once they were dry we cut out pre-drawn circles which we used to create our very own caterpillars!


Why not take a look at the Very Hungry Caterpillar collage on the wall in our playroom?  They’re all so very individual & wonderfully creative too!  Don't they look fantastic?
