Now onto the ocean background.......we used wax crayons to add lots of reeds and sea grass and some of the fish that were in the 'Mister Seahorse' book. We then painted on the background with blue ink. Next lesson: adding our decorated seahorses!

Rainbow Seahorses - inspired by Eric Carle
Love the colour in Eric Carle's books and there are endless possibilities for projects by using them for inspiration! This project came about after looking at his book, 'Mister Seahorse'. I'm currently doing it with a junior ESL class (due to a lack of language skills, the students are using a seahorse template - with other classes, I would get the students to draw their own!)
*Tip: paint over the torn tissue paper with a layer of watered down PVA glue - this will ensure the paper doesn't come off once it has dried and it gives it a nice 'shiney' look.
