Your child will be bringing home their sculpture. They are quite excited to be taking them home. This is quite a project for our little artists. First, we glued the pieces together.The children picked pieces and showed me where to place them and I hot glued them together. They had very definite ideas about where pieces went and what they were creating.
The next step was paint. It was really interesting to listen to them while they were painting. Many just painted but again many had very specific reasons for choosing colors for their sculpture.
Finally, we added bling! Lots of bling!We glued poms, playing cards, bows, cotton balls, beads, fun foam, chenille stems, poms, feathers, Popsicle sticks and googly eyes. They also added stickers and used markers.
What can you do at home? Let your child continue to work on their sculpture. They say Leonardo de Vinci never finished the Mona Lisa! So let them continue to create! Give them paint, markers, stickers, glue and collage items to glue on their sculpture.
Many of the children have a story that goes with their sculpture. This is the one thing we do not have time to do in the classroom (15 kids and 15 stories-YIKES!) Have your child dictate to you the story of their sculpture. Type it up and use clip art for picture clues and put it with the rest of their stories.
