Sandpaper Shapes Collage!

Before this activity, the children have actually explored things that are of different textures like rough, smooth, hard and soft. The children were able to relate to the rough texture that can be felt on the sand paper. They also gave different facial expressions as they explore the texture of the sand paper.

Apart from learning about texture, the children also had fun learning about the different shapes around them. Some new shapes that they have learnt are such as diamond, oval and star. They enjoyed relating the shapes to songs that they love such as twinkle twinkle little stars.

Lets take a look at the pictures of the children in action! :)
