| Fabric Creation |
| Purpose: This activity encourages fine motor skills and tactile input. Great activity for children of all abilities. Materials: cardboard, glue, water, mixing bowl and fabric scraps of any kind (fabric, old clothes, stuffed toys, etc. |
| Step 1: Rip or cut your fabric scraps into different sizes and lengths. We are using fun fur, cotton scraps, wool scraps and more to incorporate various textures. |
| Step 2: Mix regular glue with water: 1/2 glue and 1/2 water. Stir. Put newspaper on table to protect the surface. |
| Step 3: Pick a piece of fabric. Dip it in the glue. Squeeze off any excess glue. |
| Step 4: Lay the fabric down on the cardboard. You can lay it flat, bunch it up and twist it. Get creative. |
