Instructions

Assemble and arrange magazines in an area where children can select
pictures that appeal to them.
l Place child-safe scissors and glue in a convenient location.
What to Do
1. Review colors with the children.
2. Select a color of the day or week to feature in the activity.
3. Invite the children to choose a magazine and find pictures of objects that are
the color of the day.
4. Allow the children to cut or tear the pictures from the magazine and paste
them on the construction paper.
5. When everyone is finished, invite them to come together in a large group.
Ask for volunteers to name and discuss the pictures they chose.
Assessment
To assess the children's learning, consider the following:
l Can the children identify objects according to the chosen color? (Note each
child's ability to follow directions and his comfort with discussing his collage
with others.)
l Are the children displaying an age-appropriate development of small motor
skills as they cut or tear pictures from magazines?
