This creature was made from natural materials that we found on a walk around the neighborhood. From the picture it’s hard to tell, but the creature has a body made of two large leaves, fingers made of leaves and petals, a neck made of a twig and a belly button made from a small green tomato! We pasted this all onto a large piece of fabric and then drew the background details on with a marker!

Collaborative Collage Creature
Yesterday during our Creatures and Monsters class we created a large 5 foot tall collaged creature named Joe. Out of a hat, each child drew a different body part they were in charge of creating to make Joe. We looked through magazines to find textures that we like, then cut out the body shapes. The child responsible for making the hands had to talk to the child making the legs to know how many to make. This also went for hands and arms, necks and head and heads and hats!!! It was a true collaboration!
After we were finished creating Joe, we moved on to smaller creatures on magnets. Each child got to create different creatures by combining body parts that they had drawn, colored and then cut out of a soft magnet material. These creatures can be rearranged as well as holding up important information on your refrigerator.
