Based on the books by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle, What Do You See? Art Lesson booklet contains three adorable art lessons for the younger set. Children create their own painted paper for either a brown bear, panda bear or polar bear and use templates to create their own bear. Alternatively, the polar bear lesson uses either observational drawing skills or templates for the project. The lessons will take three, forty-minute class sessions to complete and uses basic supplies: tempera paint, construction paper, oil pastels, glue and scissors. That's it!
