Guest Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 In college we've used the Little Boy poem and we wanted to use something similar to further develop the idea of encouraging creativity, and not producing. One of my colleagues has used before a story or poem about red horses, green horses, etc but can't find it now. If you've got a copy or link to this or something else similar would you mind pointing me in the right direction please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think it was by that man who used to (maybe still does) write the funny school diary type page inside the back cover of EYE magazine? Brain freeze at the moment and can't think of he's name. I used to have a copy, think's called 'red and orange horses' x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have found my copy - but it hasn't got the authors recognition, and I can't upload it for some reason PM me if you can't find it and can email you my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 remember the poem but cannot find it.. did find this though http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/library/books/theartistwhopaintedabluehorse.htm probably not quite what you are looking for..

louby loo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I google'd and found something- but again can't link!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I google'd and found something- but again can't link!! to link.. copy the url of the page.. then at the top of the reply box is a little icon for a link.. (sorry pic is so small but cannot seem to make it bigger ) .. click on that and paste the url in the pop up box, then ok it and it should be in the post . sometimes just copy and paste url in works but find using the link button more reliable..

louby loo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Gosh I just tried that and it killed my page!! I had to open a new window to post this :lol: It's not me personally that can't do it - it's the lappy... I can't quote anymore, and sometimes I can't even reply That said it's my old faithful and I love it so much more than the ipad, which will let me do most things- but not 'smilies' ::1a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thank you both. Inge the Eric Carle link is great - I'd forgotten about that, and although not what I was looking for might be useful too - thanks. Looby Lou - I will PM you now, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen my face today , a great big smile , can you see you it on the paper it took me quite a while The eyes are there , just there can you see? And there are my ears below my grin you need to look closely cos I've coloured it all in Wow , so you have you clever child, how wonderful you draw and paint and glue , These wonderful pieces of art reflect the best of you ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
