I really love torn edges and all the irregularities that come with them. Kids tend to want the control of the shapes they make by using scissors, but with practice they can learn to appreciate the benefits of tearing too. I think it works especially well when fuzzy edges are called for.2. The students tear out lots of pieces of their chosen color, and glue them down on a white paper with glue sticks. The best results come when their are no straight lines left on the shapes, only torn edges. It’s easiest if they start “building” the main body first, and then add head and legs and so on.

This is a great idea and looks fantastic when it is finished. I am teaching about plants this term and might try this with my year 1s. I think I will have to use plain coloured paper and create a flower or some sort of garden scene. Thank you!
What a wonderful idea! A fun way to learn colors and shapes. I especially like the fact that it is very tactile and uses fine motor skills.
