What looks like spilt milk really isn't. What do you see in the pictures?

The students are able to look at the different shapes and try to find a picture within it. Students can put a blob of paint in the center of a piece of paper. Then they fold the paper and flatten it. When they reopen the paper, they will have to decide what they think the paint blob looks like. Then after the paint dries, they can finish the picture by coloring around it.

It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw is a picture book that could be used for all ages, but I would recommend using this book with young children grade level pre k-2. There is very little text and much of the text is repeated, however the simplicity of the book and pictures are helpful in engaging the children to use their creativity.
This book is about clouds, and the images they may appear to be. This book would be helpful as an introduction to a young class of pre k or kindergarteners that are about to learn of seasons and weather change. This would also be a fun introduction for second graders that are about to start learning about different cloud types.
The Structure of this book is fairly simple, text is on the left page and the image is on the right. The background color is navy blue on all of the pages and the image and text are white. This book reminds me of an ink test and allows the children to use their imagination and create their own interpretation of the image. ( )

This book opens up children's imaginations and allows them to then look at clouds in a different way.

It's a simple story that repeats the phrase sometime it looked like spilt milk etc, but it wasn't spilt milk etc. The phrase changes depending on the shape and eventually you learn that the descriptions are about a cloud. It shows how a cloud can change shape.
