Art!, April 2nd, 2012

Song: "Baile de las Manos"
Welcome to Bilingual Family Storytime! Let's get warmed up by learning the words for up, down, fly and much more, en Español!


Book: The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds
Vashti thinks that she can't draw anything, until her teacher shows her that even a simple dot can become a work of art.

Song: "If Your Clothes Have Any..." (to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If your clothes have any red, touch your head! If your clothes have any blue...

Book: El Artista Que Pintó un Caballo Azul by Eric Carle
Different animals, different colors, all in Spanish!

Activity: Practicing Colors in English and Spanish
Rojo, verde, azul, negro...how many colors can YOU name in Spanish?

Book: I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen Beaumont
A young boy turns his own body (and his dog!) into a messy masterpiece!


Activity: Making Shapes With Streamers
What kind of shapes do you know in Spanish? Can you make una estrella with your colorful ribbon? How about un círculo? Un corazón?

Book:
Oooh! Matisse by Mil Niepold
What shape did Matisse draw? Is it a finger? A ray of sun? Ooh! It's a leaf!

Craft: Painting in Frames and On Tables
Use watercolors to create your own one-of-a-kind work of art. You can paint on paper with a fancy frame, or right on the paper tablecloth!
