Elephant Collage Remix







I did the same Eric Carle inspired elephant collage project with my 2nd kindergarten class with a few changes. Instead of newspaper we used black construction paper with 3 different tints of gray. To create texture we used bubble wrap, cardboard and spikey rubber balls. For some added whimsy and color I have a butterfly punch that they can use with scraps of brightly colored textured paper.

    a nice touch! Thanks for the post!
