I found some printables for collages<\/a> and tried to figure out what materials we had that could work for various textures and colors.\u00a0 Turns out I just had to look in the pantry for a perfect tie-in to “On the Farm”.\u00a0 We used dried lentils, tri-colored couscous, a rice blend, navy beans, (unpopped) popcorn, a bit of wool and pencil shavings.\u00a0 (Those last two aren’t in my pantry, really.)<\/p>\n

Anna picked up on the idea pretty quickly, and seemed to really enjoy it, but lost interest before she filled in her whole page.\u00a0 She thought the pencil shavings and yellow wool were the most fun, with the lentils close behind.<\/p>\n

Carolyn knew what to do without any explanation, but I think would have preferred a more detailed picture – she added details like a corn stalk and a house in the bottom hill (before covering them with green wool for whatever reason) and was picking out the dark brown rice from the blend so she could have her details just so.<\/p>\n

Fine details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Overall?\u00a0 Glue + intriguing objects = thumbs up.\u00a0 I wish I’d had slightly more colorful things for them to use – especially something blue for the sky – but considering I didn’t know what we were doing for a craft project today and threw this together at the last minute, I’m pretty happy with the results!<\/p>\n
