We read an award winning book called "The Hello/Goodbye Window. It is a delightful story of a window at grandmas and grandpa's where you can see all the comings and goings of the family and people and pets in the neighborhood. The child in the story even uses imagination to think who might visit? A T-Res? The Queen of England?
Then we planned and painted what we would like to see outside our own Hello/Goodbye Window if we had one. While painting the children were encouraged to use different techniques with their water colors so they could get bolder and brighter colors just like in the book.The last job was to add the window frame around the outside of the painting.
What a terrific book and a fun project!
