I love giving kids unusual materials to work with. They often become very careful and meticulous, and conscious of the special-ness of what they are being allowed to do. For this project, I armed a few helpful adults with hot glue and lay out a table full of bunch of small fun stuff- recycled scraps, classroom leftovers, old toys that tend to go un-played-with, feathers, beads, fabric, magnetic poetry, buttons, etc. Each child was allowed to take several turns through the supply table so that everyone had a chance to get some "good stuff." These are some of the things kids made. I think they're really interesting!
