The learning connection
Using natural materials engages children's senses and stimulates creativity, supporting Bruner's CPA approach by allowing them to represent their experiences through an art form. Collaging encourages them to categorize and arrange materials, reinforcing cognitive connections.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather colorful leaves, flowers, and twigs from your garden or park. 2. Take a piece of cardboard or thick paper as your base. 3. Arrange your natural materials on the paper to create a design you like. 4. Use glue to stick each item down carefully. 5. Allow the collage to dry completely before displaying it. 6.
