stART - House for Hermit Crab



This week we've been working on the letter H. A book we've really been enjoying is A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle. Bekah LOVES any of his books, so you just can't go wrong with this one!

I found a cute project at homeschool share that went along with this book. They actually have a whole lapbook that you can put together, but we just made the art project.

The story in the book is about a hermit crab who has outgrown his home. He finds a new shell to live in, but it is very plain. He decorates it with sea stars, sea urchins, and many more things.

Our project was to decorate the Hermit Crabs new home with whatever Bekah saw fit. We added stickers, feathers, sequins, and buttons. She really got creative and had a blast!

She spent a long time working on her beautiful hermit crab picture.

stART - The Clumsy Crab

Wow! It's been a long time since we've posted about a stART project. We've been doing book/art projects, I've just been really bad with blogging this Summer! Well, now we're back in full swing!

This week we read the Clumsy Crab by Ruth Galloway. Bekah loved this book and I couldn't wait to do this craft I had seen at Along the Way.


Once it was dry, Bekah had a great time playing with this little guy!!
