This was a one day kindergarten lesson I found on Pinterest or Deep Sparkle, can't recall which. I read Eric Carle's A House for Hermit Crab. After some discussion on hermit crabs and their unusual habits, it was time for a quick brain gym to wiggle fingers and warm up arms. Then, we practiced drawing spirals in the air. Finally, students went to their tables and followed along as I guided them step by step in drawing a huge spiral, the snail's tail and body. Students were invited to draw a hermit crab if they preferred, "artist's choice." Next they filled the snail shell with LARGE shapes in a pattern and colored those with crayon. We topped this off by painting it with watercolors.
