Art to Try: Create a Collage like Eric Carle


One of the things we most love about Eric Carle's enduring art is the simple technique that he uses to create it. In a world where images are created and manipulated with the aid of tech, Carle's process is refreshingly handmade.
We partnered with Kayli House and her art studio, Oil and Cotton, to demonstrate Eric Carle's collage building techniques and model fun ways to explore them with your little ones at home.

Pumpkin Fairy Houses


On cool fall days, the carved faces of pumpkins peek around many doorways. Traditional pumpkin carving began with an Irish tradition of carving and lighting gourds to ward off evil spirits. When the tradition was adopted within American families, the pumpkin made a better canvas on which to carve spooky Halloween creations. To keep the spirit of pumpkin magic in your family’s fall festivities, try a project the whole family can enjoy together: craft a Pumpkin Fairy House!
