Happy Birthday Eric Carle: Books, Activities & A Linky

My girls have always enjoyed Eric Carle's books so in honor of his birthday I wanted to have another Eric Carle celebration like the one I hosted last year. This year I have teamed up with some amazing bloggers to bring you what I hope will be a wonderful resource of Eric Carle related activities/links.

To kick off our official Happy Birthday Eric Carle week I am going to recap some Carle activities we have done with a few of our favorite books. During the week, I will be sharing a few new ones with you. We had a lot of fun reading some Carle books we hadn't read before like Pancakes, Pancakes, Walter the Baker and their newly found favorite - Hello, Red Fox.

The Lil Divas decorated a hermit crab's shell after reading A House for Hermit Crab, made a coffee grounds Brown Bear, Brown Bear, a clicking, flipping Clumsy Click Beetle, painted a Watercolor Seahorse Carle Inspired Scene, learned to tell time to the hour with Paper Plate Grouchy Ladybug Clocks, made a classic Egg Carton Very Hungry Caterpillars and had fun with Puffy Paint Polar Bears. 

I can't wait to share what we have been up to with the new books we have read. For now, I leave you with this resource of links being co-hosted by the following blogs -
