The children loved reading It Looks Like Spilt Milk by Charles G. Shaw. They were fascinated to see the number of different things that a supposed splotch of "spilt milk" could look like. Their imagination spawned so many answers that I had trouble keeping up with them all. The book was new to most of them. We followed up the story by making our own pictures using white paint and black paper. This was a big hit as well. They were so excited to see what shapes emerged when they folded the paper in half after applying blots of paint to one side of the paper. Teddy Post continued to show his interest in making books by starting a spilt milk book today which he plans to continue to work on tomorrow. Any budding Rorschachers in the group?
So cool! I remember when they did something similar in Unicorns and came up with so many wonderful ideas about what their art creations looked like!
