Tissue Paper Collage

Eric Carle Inspiration
"Peek-A-Boo Peek-A-Boo
Look Who's Looking At You,
 It's Baby Bear!"

I created a Baby Bear in a forrest scene with mountainous rolling hills.  The trees, bear, and hills were cut out of prepainted white paper.  The blue back ground was made out of tissue wrap paper and the bird in tree hole are made out of construction paper.  The set back I encountered was that my bear was not to scale, he was supposed to be a Baby bear, but he ended up being a TALL baby bear!

There are multiple science extension assignments that can be a spin off of creating your own Eric Carle scene.  Living creature habitats and environmental benefits and endangerments can be added to this lesson by having students research what criteria makes an animal endangered or protected.
