Furthermore, this activity allows kids to create self-portraits using various materials such as buttons, googly eyes, yarn, etc.
Things I Know & Love Collage
The first week of school is all about getting to know one another. Most importantly, this activity lets children let others in on a few things about themselves.
The activity helps to get to know those children in their class in a special way. In addition to creativity, my goal with the activity was to allow the kids time and space to think about what they truly value in their life.
Materials:
- Cardstock
- Images
- Glue
- Markers
Approach:
- Prepare the small plastic baskets with a random stack of images ahead of time.
- Have each child take a collage template
- Explain that the activity is to create a collage of the things they know & love
- Have the children glue images on the cardstock
- Encourage the children to use markers to decorate and add their unique designs to their collages.
Body Tracing for Preschoolers
How brilliant is this exercise? Simply use a mirror and an easily removable marker to trace a child’s body. However, the fun doesn’t stop there. At that point, kids continue to create self-portraits with materials such as googly eyes.
