Collaging with fabric

I had many small fabric scraps left from puppet making with K and 1st students. While I thought my Littles were young to be constructing puppets I decided to keep the fun part by creating a project for them in which they dressed cut out body shapes with fabric collage pieces. I pre-cut on 90 lb. paper body shapes (same shape I use for gingerbread men) and cut the scraps so they were smaller (approx. 1'x1' or 1'x2') before putting them in a tray. I gave the option of sticky glue applied with brushes or small bottles of tinted clear glue (which quickly got squirted out on our people because the color was so engaging!). Once the mess was in full swing and there was plenty of glue on our people I removed the glue and prompted them to place fabric on the gluey spots. For others I put dots of glue on their people for them to cover with 'clothes'..If my students were closer to 3.5 I would probably have had them start by coloring the face area and asking them 'Where will clothes be on our bodies?' so they would have an idea of where to cover up. I also would have used box cardboard and taped a stick on it to create a puppet for older children. For my Little Littles this was plenty of gluey fun!
