What's gummed paper?


Gummed Paper Collage'

Gummed paper is paper which has the underside coated so that when wet it sticks to paper.
(Just like stamp when you lick it)
I cut up with fancy scissors the coloured gummed paper into different shapes and sizes, and placed it in a bowl for the children to choose from.

I then added a wet sponge to another bowl,for the children to dip their paper into and then offered coloured paper to stick the collage' to.
This activity is minimal in prep time and clean up!!!

This activity encourages, Fine motor, Cognitive development, social/emotional development and imaginative dev.
