Paddle pop sticks, a few clean milk plastic bottles, plastic forks, small pieces of corrugated cardboard, plastic take away food containers with lids, newspapers and others, (see list on art materials and equipment). Eric Carle uses paper collage to illustrate his books by painting and decorating his own assortment of cut paper.Students daubed the colours any way they liked and when opened could see the design was mirrored on the other side.

More than 60 of his full-color collage pictures are handsomely reproduced and serve as a statement of Carle's impressive talent. I recently read his book, The Art of Eric Carle, and discovered he was a man influenced heavily by family and community. Die Abbildungen sind toll ausgewählt, man bekommt wirklich einen schönen Einblick in das Leben eines außergewöhnlichen Künstlers. Designed for classroom teachers, librarians, art teachers, and others interested in engaging students in the visual arts and the art of the book, the Museum's professional development programs emphasize teaching through the arts and encourage critical and creative thinking.

Carle collage of the tricolor flag, reminiscent of the flag from the stern of his 1978 'Fishing Boat. We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Students chose an insect body (made by Roylco), put a chenille stick through the head for antennae and I fan folded their butterfly to insert though the slot in the body. Carle honored the winning class with a personal visit to their school, where he apparently created this doodle as a prize.
