Kinder Texture Rubbings

Kindergarten has been learning about texture in Art. I showed students pictures of objects and animals and asked them to tell me how that particular 'thing' would feel on their fingertips. We learned the four 'staples' of texture: Hard, Rough, Soft, and Smooth. Next, we folded a piece of paper three times, traced the fold lines, and began to create texture rubbings with texture plates and crayons. Finally, I encouraged the kinders to explore textures in the room and find objects and areas to create texture rubbings from. It was a blast!
