One of the Kitah Alef children’s favorite books is “Thank You Mr. Panda.” In this story the panda gives each of his friends a gift wrapped in this colorful wrapping paper. During art class, the children were offered a provocation with a variety of wrapping paper scraps, school glue, paint brushes, and a canvas. First the children tore the wrapping paper into smaller pieces.
Next, they painted the canvas with school glue, then placed the scraps onto the wet glue. For a finishing touch, the children glued a few different colored ribbons on top of the wrapping paper collage.
