Griddle Art With "Pete The Cat"

"Pete the Cat"  by Eric Litwin and James Dean are interesting stories of a cat that never lets life circumstances get him down.  "Does Pete cry?  Goodness, No!  He keeps singing his song."

For a fun and interesting art project we did Griddle Art with Pete the Cat in preschool.  Put the gloves on because this art project is very warm.  Gather the old crayons because they come in very handy for this project. Fetch the electric pancake griddle.  You will also need a piece of foil to lay on top of the griddle to protect the griddle and a piece of card stock on top of that to color your picture on.  Turn the temperature between 150-200 degrees. Now you are ready to begin.

After we read the story of "Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons", the children were ready to color a picture of Pete.  The children waited anxiously for their turn. The children were fascinated by the effect of the crayons on the paper after being warmed by the griddle. "Pete the Cat" assortment of books are GREAT for
emergent readers.  Adults will find Pete the Cat to be as intriguing as children do!
