During class time today, the Centipedes had the option of beading or collaging. At the collage station, they worked with glue, cotton balls, tissue paper and stickers. All which ranged in size and texture for them to choose from and work with to manipulate and design their collage. This is a great activity because it leaves so many creative choices up to the child to make. It's fun to watch the kids develop different ideas using the same materials to create their own unique piece.
Beading is a great way for the kids to create and recognize patterns. By using the different shapes and colors of the beads, they can make any type of pattern they would like.
Layla chose to create a bracelet using pink, purple, blue and yellow. She carefully decided which color went first and how many of each she wanted.
John wanted an all blue necklace, including the string!
Lena chose to make an collage using mostly the pink white and red tissue paper. She had a ton of fun squirting out the glue too!
Eleanor and Saige compared ideas about their collage by telling eachother what color stickers they were using and where they were placing them on their paper. They built off eachothers ideas and made great collages. :)
