During our ladybug unit I also read many other books by Eric Carle. We watched a video on how Mr. Carle makes his books and we spent two days making our own paintings. We used tissue paper and put a base color on and let it dry, next we put a second color on then we used different type of brushes to add the third color. After they were dry I put different pieces on every table and let the children cut and glue their own pictures.

We must've watched the same video today!! :) Ours was hooked to the end of a Smart Board lesson on The Very Hungry Caterpillar so I'm not exactly sure where it came from, though. I love your painting/collages. You inspired me...we may have to try it, too!
Oh, the kid's paintings are gorgeous! We love Eric Carle in our household.
Below is one of my past posts relating to Eric Carle-
