Every child has an artist inside them, and this vibrant picture book, The Artist Who Painted a Horse Blue from Eric Carle will help let it out. The artist in this book paints the world as he sees it, just like a child. There's a red crocodile, an orange elephant, a purple fox and a polka-dotted donkey. More than anything, there's imagination. Filled with some of the most magnificently colorful animals of Eric Carle's career, this tribute to the creative life celebrates the power of art.
As an extended activity of the storybook, the Kindergarten did a sequencing exercise.
As seen in the pictures, children flipped through the storybook again to know the sequence of the animals.
Once the Kindergarten children flipped through the storybook, they started to cut the pictures of animals. They have to remember the sequence before pasting.
After cutting the pictures of animals, children were seen pasting the pictures in sequence.
Below are a few completed sequencing activity done by the children.
You may read any storybooks to your child and allow your child to do sequencing activity at home too! You may visit this website for suggestions of sequencing activities to conducted with your child.
