What to do:
- sharing a
large sheet of paper, children create a Christmas Dinner Table, i.e. turkey,
potatoes, centre pieces, fancy plates, etc.
How to do it:
- a mural is a
picture made as a group that depicts many parts of a theme
(ie. a river or horizon through the length of the paper well help define
a common horizon for some of the children so the
finished image looks like it flows)
- use heavy brown
paper (or white craft paper on a roll)
and tempera paint
- place paper on floor
(allow approx. 2’ per child)
- divide parts of
mural up by drawing a border line to indicate each child’s working space
- establish the theme
in everyone’s imagination through story or pictures or simply talking about
it! Everyone uses their space to create their part of the theme
