I LOVED your link about the kindergarten integration.  I bookmarked it to use with some of my Kindergarten lessons next year.  I am a teacher librarian and it's often hard to find lessons (especially at the beginning of the year) that are more than just reading to the kids and having them listen.  While listening to stories is an important skill - I feel it reinforces the story to have them interact with it.  I am not the most creative person in the world and this has given me several idea.  BESIDES - kids this age LOVE art even if you don't call it that.  As they said in the materials we read, it gives them essential skills that they can then use cross-curriculum.  *An added bonus is that the kids will love coming to the library if they can find ways to get messy even there! ;)*
