Friday Art - Let's Glue!

Gluing is one of the basic skills that we use in art.
To help the children master their gluing technique, we discussed some tips of gluing and broke down the steps for our younger friends.
"How do we use white glue?" the children were asked.
"We put glue on the paper!"
"How do we know if we get enough white glue?" I asked while showing the children white glue dripping from a glue paddle.
"That's too much glue" the children pointed out.
"You need to wipe off the glue in the (edge of) container" a child suggested.

Often, children put more than enough white glue on their artwork. Therefore, we took turns practicing wiping off extra glue in the container and spreading the white glue on paper. 

 








With the practice in a group, the children used the white glue mindfully. Puzzle pieces and markers were provided for the children to create a piece of open-ended artwork.
