I use recycled materials a lot. There is so much out there to reuse in new ways. And I'm collecting materials all the time. I try to use these materials in most of the work that we do in the art studio.
Today's project involves wood pieces, plastic container lids, and colored glue (one of my favorite materials)
This was a toddler project this week. They worked on their fine motor skills to squeeze the glue bottles until the glue came out. I use liquid watercolor to color my glue because the colors are so bright and vibrant. They added wood pieces as they pleased and more glue.
It was amazing to watch the colors swirl and mix together as the children used many colors one on top of the other. After these dry, we'll pop them out of the plastic lids and have some colorful sun catchers for the windows.
