THEMES:

Tasty Textures

"Tasty textures" refer to the various tactile qualities and sensations experienced when eating different types of foods. These textures can include characteristics such as crunchy, creamy, chewy, smooth, gritty, and more. Exploring tasty textures in arts and crafts activities can be a fun way to engage 7-year-old students and enhance their sensory awareness. Here are some creative activities related to tasty textures:

• Texture Collage of Foods:

  • Provide students with magazines, food packaging, and catalogs.

            Here's a step-by-step explanation:

• Collect Materials:

  • Start by gathering the necessary materials. You'll need a collection of magazines, food packaging, and catalogs. These materials can be sourced from your own magazines, donations from others, or by contacting local businesses or grocery stores for unused or discarded packaging.

• Sort and Prepare:

  • Sort through the magazines, food packaging, and catalogs to ensure they are appropriate for use in the classroom. Remove any materials that may not be suitable for your students or the specific project you have in mind.

• Organize and Store:

  • Once you have the materials you need, organize them in a way that makes them easily accessible to your students. You might want to arrange them in bins, baskets, or on shelves, depending on the available space in your classroom.

• Introduce the Materials:

  • Before starting the art and craft project, introduce the materials to your students. Explain the purpose of using magazines, food packaging, and catalogs in the project and how these materials can be used to create texture-based art.

• Safety Precautions:

  • Emphasize safety guidelines to your students. Make sure they understand how to handle scissors and other cutting tools safely. Additionally, remind them to be respectful of the materials and not to waste or damage them unnecessarily.

• Selecting and Cutting:

  • During the project, encourage students to select images or sections from the magazines, food packaging, or catalogs that have textures relevant to the theme or concept you're exploring. For example, if you're focusing on food textures, they can choose images of fruits, vegetables, or packaged foods with interesting textures.

  • Provide students with child-safe scissors and instruct them on how to safely cut out the selected textures.

• Using the Textures:

  • Once the textures are cut out, guide students on how to incorporate them into their art projects. They can be glued onto paper, cardboard, or other surfaces to create collages, texture rubbings, or any other artwork that involves tactile elements.

• Clean-Up:

  • After the activity, remind students to clean up their workspaces and return any unused materials to their designated storage area. Properly dispose of any scraps or waste.

• • Show them images of various foods with different textures (e.g., crispy chips, creamy ice cream, bumpy broccoli).

  • Have students cut out pictures of their favorite foods and create a collage on a poster board, arranging the images to showcase a variety of tasty textures.

• Sensory Texture Paintings:

  • Set up stations with different textured materials such as sandpaper, cotton balls, rice, pasta, and bubble wrap.

  • Give students paint and large sheets of paper.

  • Instruct them to dip the textured materials into the paint and then press them onto the paper to create textured paintings that represent various food textures.

• Texture Food Sculptures:

  • Provide modeling clay or playdough in various colors.

  • Show students images of different foods with interesting textures (e.g., spaghetti, popcorn, marshmallows).

  • Encourage them to sculpt miniature versions of these foods, paying attention to replicating the textures in their clay creations.

• Texture Food Collagraphs:

  • Teach students about printmaking and collagraph techniques (printing plates made from collaged materials).

  • Provide a variety of textured materials like pasta, rice, bubble wrap, and fabric scraps.

  • Have students create their own collagraph plates by arranging and gluing these textured materials onto sturdy cardboard.

  • Once the plates are dry, students can apply paint and print their textured food designs.

• Texture Recipe Cards:

  • Have students design their own recipe cards.

  • Provide them with blank recipe card templates or encourage them to create their own.

  • Instruct students to draw or paste pictures of different foods on their recipe cards, emphasizing the texture of each ingredient and including a simple recipe or description.

• Texture Food Mobiles:

  • Provide students with a variety of textured materials like cotton balls, sandpaper, fabric, and foam.

  • Show them pictures of foods with distinct textures.

  • Have students cut out or shape these materials to resemble the foods and then string them together to create a "tasty textures" mobile.

• Texture Food Mosaics:

  • Show students images of foods with different textures.

  • Provide colored construction paper and scissors.

  • Instruct them to create mosaic-style representations of these foods, cutting the paper into small pieces and arranging them to mimic the textures they observe.

These activities not only allow students to explore the concept of tasty textures through a creative lens but also encourage them to develop their fine motor skills, artistic abilities, and sensory perception of food.

Garden Sculptures

Garden Sculptures:

Garden sculptures are artistic installations or decorative elements placed in gardens and outdoor spaces. They come in various forms, materials, and styles, and they can add beauty, visual interest, and a touch of art to outdoor landscapes. Common types of garden sculptures include statues, fountains, metalwork, ceramic pieces, and more, which can range from traditional to contemporary designs.

Activities to Do with Young Students:

Engaging young students in fun and educational activities is essential for their development. Here are some activities you can do with your young students:
