You added a yellow circle and a pink circle. “Luca, look at the way you are using the brush to put glue on your paper. At this age the process of the art is much more important than the end product. Be careful not to go further and do the project for your child. You can use the glue to make them stick to the paper.” If gluing is a new experience for your child you can demonstrate how to put a small amount of glue on the paper and stick a shape on. We have rectangles (pick up a rectangle) and circles (pick up a circle). “Today we are going to make shape collages. Presenting the materials in a simple and organized way gives your child the opportunity to approach the activity with his own vision and learning style. How you present the materials to your child is an integral part of the learning experience. Introduce the Shape Collages to your child by presenting 1 piece of black paper, the rectangle and circles sorted by color, a small amount of glue (I put mine on a yogurt container lid) and a paint brush. I made my rectangles about 2 inches wide and half a paper long. Prior to beginning the activity cut long rectangles using three of the colors and circles using two of the colors. Shape recognition ( recognizing circles and rectangles and the different parts of the shapes)Ĭounting ( focusing on how many shapes were used)ġ to 1 correspondence ( the concept that when counting each shape has one number)Ĭolor recognition (recognizing and naming the different colors used)Ĭreativity ( how your child uses the shapes to make the collage) Language development ( describing artwork, listening to your words, simple dialogue while working)įine motor development ( glueing, picking up shapes and positioning them on the paper) Scissors AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT ENHANCED THROUGH SIMPLE SHAPE COLLAGES Paint brushes (if putting glue in containers to brush on) WHAT YOU NEED TO CREATE SIMPLE SHAPE COLLAGESĥ different colors of construction paper (I chose green, purple, pink, yellow and red) Our Simple Shape Collages are the perfect activity to demonstrate that with a few materials and five minutes of prep time you can create an enriching learning opportunity for your children.
