I would love to explore literary based craft projects. The two craft projects I would like to start the year with are based on the books Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Rainbow Fish. The students will start the year right by exploring fun books and then interacting with the story at a deeper level by creating an art activity out of the theme. Construction paper will be used to create the backdrop for each theme. The students will have voice and choice as they can pick the color of the construction paper they wish to use for their art project.
