Paper tearing, cutting, and collage invite children into a vibrant world of texture, colour, and possibility. Taken from the French word coller, meaning to stick or glue, collage is an artform of assembling, arranging, and transforming materials to express ideas. Children delight in exploring shape, contrast, and composition as they tear, cut, layer, and position paper, discovering creative potential in every small piece. This webinar will draw inspiration from the work of Matisse and Jeannie Baker to offer fresh ideas for playful and meaningful collage experiences. You will explore practical strategies for engaging children in thoughtful paper play that honours their choices, supports problem solving, and strengthens their agency. Together we will celebrate sustainable and accessible materials that invite creativity, curiosity, and joy while nurturing confidence and a love of making.

Strengthen your practice by learning to:
• Support children’s creative choices, problem solving, and expressive thinking through collage.
• Design thoughtful paper play experiences that nurture curiosity, agency, and joyful exploration.
• Use sustainable and accessible materials to inspire meaningful making with children.
