Sponge Paint Trees

Elmer the Elephant

Elmer the elephant is on of my favorite stories to read to my Kindergarten and 1st grade students.  Elmer is different from all of the other elephants, but the elephants love him because he is so special.  We made our own sponge painted Elmers! No "normal" colored elephants here.

Turkeys Turkeys

This lesson was perfect for my Special Education students.  They had a lot of fun sponge painting their turkey feathers! You could easily modify this lesson for 1st and 2nd grade too!
