What to do:
- sharing
a large sheet of paper, children create bugs of their choice in their
space.
How to do it:
- a mural is
a picture made as a group that depicts many parts of a theme (ie.
a river or horizon through the length of the paper well help define a
common horizon for some of the children so the finished image looks like
it flows)
- use heavy
brown paper (or white craft paper on a roll)
and tempera paint
- place paper on
floor (allow approx. 2’ per child)
- divide parts of
mural up by drawing a border line to indicate each child’s working space
- establish the
theme in everyone’s imagination through story or pictures or simply talking
about it! Everyone uses their space to create their part of the theme.
