We need real, authentic experiences with the earth. We learn through our senses. We must have real experiences to be effective in developing our understanding of self and the world around us.
During our early years we learn holistically. We learn many things at the same time. Something we learn from one experience will connect with something else seemingly unrelated and form a connection which builds context and meaning.
The arts provide opportunities for us to learn holistically, through play and with all our senses at once.
We need lots of relevant opportunities to explore the objects and materials around us with all of our senses.
We love working with a collage using various media of differing textures. We choose from wire, sandpaper, corrugated cardboard, sponges, clay, and many other media.
Kindest,
Children & Friends.
