Collage Two Ways, Torn Paper and Cut Paper


Paper Cutting is so engaging for kids.  Learning to cut various line types or just exploring what shapes might arise brings such an element of wonder to learning...(wait, isn't that how learning should be!?).

Working with paper by tearing it with your hands rather than cutting it with scissors is quite a challenging activity.   What I love about tearing the paper is that your imagination takes center stage.  You don't know what shape you'll get and then your mind naturally imagines what it looks like or what it reminds you of.
