Wednesday Group - Collage

The Wednesday Group was small and intimate again, with just Theo and Sebastien. I continued with the contact paper and same materials I presented last week. I did add a new item into the mix, small cut out photos of all the children who attend playgroup. This really caught the attention of Theo. He would look at each photo with intensity and concentration. Sebastien was more intrigued with identifying his friends. The following video is longer than I normally post but stick with it. There is a wonderful interchange between Theo and Sebastien's exploration of the materials. Watch as Sebastien's initial discovery of the photos prompts interest from Theo. Then Theo is still intrigued by the stickiness of the contact paper which leads to Sebastien testing the contact paper as well. The back and forth of one making a discovery and then the other making a similar discovery allows Sebastien and Theo to exchange ideas and their understanding of the material with one another. Theo also finds out that once you stick the photos down they are not that easy to get back. Once he gets up the photo in question Sebastien says, "stick" as if to remind him it's sticky.
