Making Collage With Toddler

Reya is not so keen to play with glue. I guess she don't like its sticky texture. Nevertheless i include some glue activity so that she gets used to it. Collage means to glue (in french). We will only need some easy set ups and things as below:

1) roughly teared off small pieces of paper from some old magazines and newspapers;

2) art blocks or A3 size papers; and

3) lots of glue 

The main objectives of doing collage is to:

1) develop fine motor skills;

2) teaches cause and effect;  

3) great hand- eye activity; 

4) opportunity to a child to express creativity;

5) develops awareness to sticky sensation; and

6) language development

Here are some pictures of our work in progress and final art of making collage a fish and a tree.. the rest of the work are abstracts... he he he

Cheers and do try this out with your toddlers and let me know how it turns out!!

Thank you for dropping by.
