The Shape Box!
Posted on March 24, 2009

We took a recycled Play Mobile Box and punches out various sizes of rectangles, squares, stars, circles & triangles.

Note of caution: This activity is not the faint at heart. YOU WILL make a colorful mess… easy clean-up at least! This is one of those projects that is as fun to set up as it is to use.

I used my favorite adhesive—modge podge (love this stuff) to personalize the front of box. Krischan helped me add a inspiration template that sits underneath the shapes—sketches for collage themes— trains, buses, houses, castles…  Now we can go shape {collage} crazy!!!

Shape collage art is such a fantastic rainy-anyday art activity. It works great for us because almost ANY age can enjoy, create and participate. And of course it’s a fun way to learn about shapes. Thank so much for the idea LETS EXPLORE!
