If you haven't read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, then I'm sure after you see these comics inspired by Eric Carle's book, you will want to! The artists from Moonstone Preschool in Philadelphia, USA did a wonderful job! Their friends at The International School of Antwerp will have some summer fun reading to do :).

Hi,

We had a great time doing the February Dear You art project. We have been focusing on the solar system and talking about how we are connected to everything, so the project tied in perfectly with our curriculum! We have also been working on sharing and teamwork, so each piece was a collective effort.

Have a great day,
Michelle

Hi,

We had a great time with this project. We practiced the day before we made the cards and now we are all pop up pros! One boy told me he couldn't wait to teach his older brother how to do this! I will be sending them out tomorrow morning.

Have a great day and enjoy the holidays,
Michelle

Thank you to their teachers, Naomi Kite, Nebadon Adams, and Michelle Mullally for being such warmhearted spirits that encourage these artists to express themselves so beautifully!

I think these pictures of the Happy Artists in action says it all :)
