I soaked the bulky yarn strands in a larger bin to promote collaboration. I then poured Elmer’s glue into individual cups, kneading a handful of yarns into each cup, saturating the strands with glue.
The strands for the collaborative installation were a bulky type of yarn and we cut them approximately three feet in length. To prepare for the sensory exploration, we cut strands of yarns between 6 and 12 inches and then sorted them into bins according to whether they were warm, cool, or neutral colors. The artwork was a large-scale version of the works toddlers and their caregivers made during the program. It was a collaborative, sticky, sensory experience that solidified into a sculpture that now hangs within the Toddler Area. It’s that time of year for a change-out of the art within our Toddler Area! To usher in the fall, toddlers created an artwork using red, orange, and yellow yarns during a Materials Play program.
