Grades: PreK –12 

Explore collage in this hands-on virtual workshop with Carle Art Educators! Looking at picture book illustrations, including the art of Eric Carle, this workshop will explore how paper can be used to tell stories. Educator-led activities will encourage students to explore the potential of paper by tearing, cutting, arranging, and attaching paper together. This workshop provides a starting point for further collage explorations and will include pre- and post-workshop extension resources. 

Grades: PreK – Grade 3 
Join us for this interactive live program in which you will hear from a Carle educator about the museum and go behind the scenes to discover how Eric Carle transforms ideas, words, and pictures to create the books we love! Registration includes pre and post-program materials with links to online videos, activities, and at-home art projects. Limited to 30 attendees.

To create the best trivia experience for our participants, we’re using two technology elements: Crowdpurr (trivia software) and Zoom (video software).  

We’ll start the live trivia at 7 p.m. The benefit of participating in the Zoom webinar is that you’ll virtually see your local librarians hosting, you can chat about the questions/answers with other participants via text chat, and you can see the live rankings leader-board.
