Texture Shape Collage

Kindergartens loved learning about texture and the way things feel. As an introductory lesson, I have them explore my texture boxes. These are boxes that have different textured objects hidden inside. After our review of texture words(smooth, bumpy, hard, soft, etc) we describe what we left in the box. After every box has been described, I reveal what was inside. From here they then create texture rubbings using oil pastels and waterolors. After our wax-resist texture paintings are dry students practice their cutting skills. Student then create a collage using these textured shapes.
