1st Graders Begins Constructing Houses for Mice

In connection with 1st grade author study of Kevin Henkes' work, children in the art room will be making houses for mice. Each child will use recycled materials to create a house fit for a mouse.
In preparation, we looked at various images of other small houses as reference.
This one has 3 floors.
This one has a wrapping paper wallpaper and ribbon on the sides.
This one has 4 rooms.
This one has a curtain and decorated painted walls.
Here is an example of how children could use recycled materials to create a chair.

Below are images of children painting their homes. Due to the lack of shoe boxes for each child, children are working in pairs to construct a space fit for a pretend talking mouse.
Children has to make decisions about inside and outside colors.
