How do you introduce studio thinking to children each year? Last year I began by reading the 100 Languages of Children poem and then discussing it. This time I'm asking the children to make an image with loose parts. This is a nice way to experience the fluidity of ideas, since, with no gluing, the pieces can be placed and re-placed.The possibilities are endless!
