Summer Contact Paper Collage

This week the 1s/2s class celebrated summertime with a flower petal and shapes collage. I taped clear contact paper (sticky side up) down to the table and offered them petals, sequin shapes, and tissue  shapes to stick to the paper. I was inspired by the Artful Parent who recently used this method to make fairy wings!

The kids glammed up their work by adding plenty of glitter.

After the collages, I brought out some golf ball painting materials. The children caught on quickly how to shake the trays to create interesting lines on their paper. They had fun exploring the studio and periodically returning to the golf ball painting to do some more shaking.

Hard at work!
