Preschool Project
and it's one of my favorites!
Simply collect pieces of scrap wood
Cut up a couple of dowels, thick and thin, add some pieces of wood shapes from the craft store
cut up some planks for the children to have as a base, sanding away any rough edges
some of the collected pieces will need to be sanded too. 
I bring sandpaper into the classroom with the pieces so the kids can try their hands at sanding - pre- sanded pieces that is!
This cutting area at Home Depot is a great spot to get funky shapes of wood! When the customer is done cutting what he/she needs, the ends fall into a well or collection area. I go over and collect the scraps that someone has left behind! If it's small, thus unsellable, Home Depot doesn't charge for them! The molding pieces are the best
Each of my students got a platform base, a bottle of glue and No instructions! Just build your sculpture to your hearts desire!
Each child's sculpture is different and unique to them
You can build up or build out - there is no wrong or right way to create!
Good winter day!
