Introduce the concept of pairs with a glue and paste collage of things that are found in twos.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• White glue or paste
• Old magazines, postcards, wrapping paper, catalogues, newspapers etc.
• Craft sticks (popsicle sticks) - for gluing.
• Egg cartons (to hold the glue).
• Cardboard (old cereal boxes are great) or heavy paper (about 10" by 10" per child).
• Scissors

WHAT YOU DO:

• You and your kinderartists can find pictures of things that come in pairs - shoes, eyes, feet, gloves, ears etc.
• Take the full picture of both objects and cut or tear it in half.
• Mix the pictures up.
• Your kinderartists can then find the matching pairs and glue them on their cardboard piece.
• You could also do this as a class project and use a wall of the classroom to make a two-by-two collage.
• Keep the two-by-two collages handy for math-time activities.
