    Hi Jodie! This is an awesome post. We love eric carle. this year we did an eric carle author study for our I Love Books! march curriculum theme. We are ending the month with a “brown bear, brown bear buffet” where the children will be invited to make their own snack choosing from: brown bear pretzels, red bird strawberries, white dog cheese puffs, purple cat grapes, and of course, goldfish!
    Thank you for the additional info and craft ideas. We use many eric carle books throughout the year, especially during may/june for our insect theme.
