Children love gluing with all types of junk materials. I often set up a large table with some strong glue and collage materials for children to glue onto boxes, cylinders and so on. It gives children a chance to experiment with design and technology and to develop their creativity and thinking skills. |
Here's some ideas of useful junk and collage materials: |
Foam packing materials and shapes Felt pieces Patty pans (paper and foil) Shells Buttons Boxes Cylinders (not toilet roll ones) Plastic containers eg yoghurt, butter Plastic lids Corks Pictures cut from cards, magazines and wrapping paper Foil pieces Bubble Wrap Streamers Ribbon and wool Material scraps Wood pieces and off-cuts (sandpapered) Sandpaper pieces Corrugated card Noodle and macaroni shapes Cotton wool Straws Cellophane pieces Popsticks and matchsticks |
