Tel Aviv creates a Fall Collage





This past Friday we went on a leaf hunt around the playground and came inside for a fall collage. We had a cardboard box left over from earlier in the week that we decided to decorate. So many members of the Tel Aviv class came over to decorate the box. Instead of paintbrushes we used leaves and sticks to apply paint to the box. Using a stick to apply paint was a completely different experience. The stick made it harder to make think lines and children would try to apply paint very heavily with the stick which sometimes worked and other times resulted in a lot of paint dripping. Once the paint was all over the table everyone decided that it was time for finger-painting! It was a good project to try different techniques to see what worked best. The box turned out beautiful and we plan on gluing a layer of leaves sometime this week!

  1. I knew Aviva had an awesome, creative day at school when she greeted me with a paint-splattered shirt. :) Sounds like it was a lot of fun!
