Hello friends! Can you believe it's already Friday? These pictures are from my friendly monster week... we finished these activities up...

Second Grade artists are busy creating their own Wild Things! We read the outstanding author and illustrator Maurice Sendak's book "Where the Wild Things Are," and looked very closely at the illustrations. Mr. Sendak draws some incredible textures throughout the story, and we talked about how he used lines and shapes to create all of the different textures. We then practiced some different textures together, and then drew our own wild thing and used at least four different textures on…

DIY PUPPETS Make a wild rumpus with these easy-to-make puppets inspired by Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are!" Detailed materials list and instructions for these puppets and a puppet theatre on the mommyhoodstatements blog. A perfect project to make with your kids during rainy days!

We don't moose around - these Moose Mixed Media Art Project were created at a our art summer camp in our children's art studio in Charlotte, NC.

In this super fun and interactive art lesson, students will imagine, design and create their own Monster in their Closet! This is the best lesson for students of all ages because there is no wrong way to make a monster, everyone is successful! Students will learn about the work of James DeRosso, Maurice Sendak and more and use visual thinking strategies to discuss their work.

It has them observe and practice visual texuture, and then shows them how to create it with colors. I teach the kids about tints and…

"Mrs. Sommerville, can we make Wild Things for our craftivity this week?" As we're listening for and writing Ww this week, I was happy to oblige. Here's what we used (but a lighter tan for the 8 X 8 square and a darker brown for the 12 X 12 would work too): I had my students cut the corners off of the white 8 X 8 piece of paper, and then told them to glue it to the center of the brown 12 X 12 piece. I then modeled how to draw a large oval on the orange 2 X 3 rectangle for the nose, and a…

I was Mystery Reader at my daughter's school and had to pick a book and bring a craft for the kids. They look easy to make. But not so much for 1st graders...
