Story And A Craft

Here is one of my favorite children's books.  The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear by Dan and Audrey Wood.  It's a story that the illustrations were created to look as though the mouse is interacting with the reader the entire time.  The mouse is trying to hide his freshly picked strawberry from the big hungry bear. 

We created our own strawberries yesterday. I cut strawberry shapes out of paper plates. 

Paint, paint, paint.

We used a toothpick with some yellow paint to create the strawberry seeds.  It worked out nicely!

The final step was to glue on the stem.  Hooray for summer and all of the berries it brings! 

Meanwhile, Smudge apparently needs some attention.  Happy Wednesday!♥♥♥
