Today we have started to make a Cocoon out of Paper Mache! We ripped up pieces of newspaper and dipped it into glue and smoothed it over an Orange balloon which will be the shell for our Cocoon. We each took turns at applying glue and paper to the balloon.
The children described what the glue felt like against their skin and were full of smiles as they squished it between their fingers.
This activity seemed to come across as very therapeutic as they children came across very relaxed and lost in their thoughts when involved in this art activity :)
Once the paper mache dries we will paint and decorate the cocoon with a variety of colours that the children will pick :)
