Collage with Triangles!

Teaching Shapes for Toddlers - With Paper Collage Activity
Part 4 : Triangle

Let's make collage with Triangle shape🔺. We did three collages, a Christmas tree, a fish and a kite!😊😊😊

1. Christmas tree collage with Triangle shape

Supplies:

• Green, White or Gray Construction paper
• Glue Stick
• Scissors
• Star shaped stickers (Optional)

1. Cut different sizes of green triangles for the tree. This involves bit work, we need triangles of different sizes and different angles. A quick tip: If you want to make the work easier, I have a template which I downloaded from net😛 You can take a print of this, color it and use for the collage. (I didn't use this template though!)

2. After you cut the triangles, snip the lower half of each triangle to mimic the texture of pine needles and this is purely optional.
3. Make a small rectangle with brown paper for the tree trunk.
4. That's it! All set for making the collage. Let your kids enjoy making the Christmas tree. (Make sure you don't glue on the snipped strips. Just lift the strips slightly to get the 3D effect!)
5. And finally decorate!  We used star stickers. You can use gems, glitter, rhinestones,.. whatever you have.
6. In the background I pasted bits of white paper to give the snowing effect.😉

LO wanted to have "C" on it, " C for Christmas Tree"😊

At the end of this collage activity,

1. Talk about triangle shape used, like the color of triangle, number of sides of triangle and about its symmetry.

2. About Christmas and the snowy December month.

3. Sing the rhyme "Jingle bell, Jingle Bell...."

Try it out and please share your comments.

2. Fish Collage with Triangle shape

Supplies:

• Construction paper - Color of your choice
• Glue Stick
• Scissors
• Googly eyes - Optional

1. Make four triangle pieces of different colors and sizes.

2. Help your kids glue it to make a triangle fish.

3. Using the googly eyes is purely optional. You can also make the eye from a white paper and black marker!

3. Kite Collage with Triangle shape

This is very simple to make, do have a try.

Supplies:

• Construction Paper - colors of your choice
• Glue Stick
• Scissors
• String - optional

Cut two triangles of same size and of different colors. Then cut smaller triangles to stick on the string.

Glue the triangles to make a diamond shape. Attach the string to the diamond, and paste the smaller triangles on them to complete the kite collage.
