These being, stretch and explore by allowing them to make predictions of the book. They can begin developing craft by giving them the utensils to create pictures that look like Eric Carle's art style. Finally, children can express by creating their own version of the butterfly and what they picture it to look like when it comes out of the cocoon. This book offers an insight into the arts education starting in the early childhood age. ]]> 2017-09-16 14:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jennaleex7/qubrwg7ocmzl/wish/188151520
