A building? A self-portrait? Or would she just like to experiment with the items and create an “abstract” sculpture? \u00c2\u00a0Together, cut out shapes, paint the boxes, and put it all together. As you work, encourage your child to put the shapes together in different ways. Also help your child notice if her creation is symmetrical or if she is creating a color or shape pattern. \u00c2\u00a0When she finishes, challenge your child to name all the shapes and colors she sees. She can also name her creation!<\/span> Learning benefits:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00c2\u00a0 Explore geometry with a boxy sculpture. \u00c2\u00a0 milk or egg cartons, cereal boxes, shoeboxes, lids, and paper towel rolls paint crayons glue construction paper scissors \u00c2\u00a0 To start, go on a materials hunt around your home for interestingly shaped items.\u00c2\u00a0After she has collected her “treasures,” talk to your child about what she would like […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,16,15],"tags":[398,92,174],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=236"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2630,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236\/revisions\/2630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
