While reading an assortment of Eric Carle books, I used The Mixed Up Chameleon to create a class book of my kindergarten students. I took full length pictures of my class. After developing them, I mounted them onto paper and cut them into 3 sections, head, body, and legs. I punched holes in each section and bound the sections together. The kids had a great time mixing up their friends!!!

For an art lesson for Grades K-2, we read The Mixed Up Chameleon. The children were to create their own mixed-up chameleon by using various types of papers having different colors, textures, weights, patterns etc. The children could also add additional patterns to the papers by stamping designs with rubber stamps. We used papers ranging from tissue paper, to textured foil paper, and various papers with different textures and thicknesses - including many colors. Then the papers were torn to create the effect similar to the artwork of Eric Carle. It was fun to see the mixed-up chameleon each child invented. The textures and combinations of papers really allowed for creativity.

I am currently a senior early childhood education student at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. For a language arts course, I had to create a book published by the kindergarten students. I read The Mixed Up Chameleon to the class. Each child had to draw a picture of himself/herself with characteristics of a favorite animal. The children also had to write what they wished they were. After the class completed the pictures, I gathered them and created a classroom book. The book was laminated and bound together. It was titled c“Mixed-Up Me. ” This was a hit for the children. They enjoy all of Eric Carles’s great books.

Readers follow the story of a chameleon who changes its shape and colors to resemble other zoo animals before realizing it's happy being itself. Details: Exclusively at Kohl's!
