      Why It Works

      The learning connection

      Engaging children in artistic expression through collage making encourages embodied cognition, as they physically manipulate materials and creatively represent ideas. Visual art also leverages dual coding theory, allowing children to associate images with memories and meanings, enhancing retention.

      Try it with your learner

      1. Gather materials: colored paper, scissors, glue, and markers. 2. Choose your favorite festival and think of symbols that represent it (like diyas for Diwali or kites for Makar Sankranti). 3. Cut out shapes and pictures from colored paper to represent your chosen symbols. 4. Arrange the shapes on a blank sheet of paper to create your collage. 5. Glue down the shapes and add drawings or words related to the festival. 6. Share your collage with family and explain why this festival is special to you!
