Recipe And Read Pairing: Katie And The Starry Night Children’s Book
We paired up our galaxy fruit dip with by
Katie is at the museum with her grandmother, who nods off during their visit. It’s then when Katie starts an imaginative adventure through famous paintings at an art gallery, including Vincent van Gogh’s iconic “Starry Night.”
In the story, Katie reaches in to grab a star in The Starry Night painting and finds herself transported into the painting and several other paintings by Van Gogh.
Kids love when Katie climbs into the paintings and will have a lot of fun when they get to “draw” their own Starry Night in the fruit dip!
It’s a fun way to introduce children to art or continue your art learning by pairing it with our recipe and read activity fruit dip!
You’ll also have fun making these Galaxay Lollipops!
Enjoy your galaxy fruit dip!
