We are currently in the middle of a science unit on colors. To introduce the world of colors, we read some books by Eric Carle, who does amazing collage art. We chose to do some collage art of our own after reading The Mixed Up Chameleon.This project is SUPER fun for the kiddos, although it does require some preparation on the part of the teacher. We tore pieces of tissue paper and "painted" glue onto a pre-drawn chameleon. When they were all dry, I cut them out so they could be displayed on a mural in the hallway for everyone to enjoy!
You can check out http://www.eric-carle.com/ for a list of his books and resources to go along with them. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a very popular one, along with Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
