Birds & Birches inspired by Lois Ehlert

"Do you think birds know when it's going to snow?" 

asks Lois Ehlert in her book "Snowballs."

We looked at Ehlert's creative collages and then made painted paper using the watercolor resist technique.  We used music pages for our birch trees and collaged colorful birds in the trees. These gorgeous collages and Ehlert's amusing illustrations remind us that winter is anything but cold and gray!

Owls, Peacocks, Patterns!
