The children have created large-scale collaged pictures inspired by fairy tales; made their own glue from flour and water; created lollipops and wands; learnt how to use tabs and PVA glue; practised wrapping pipe cleaners; used hole punchers and scissors; explored a range of art materials and have made their own animal masks. These important joining skills will be used in term 4 when making their own models. Creating and making helps the children to develop and improve their **fine motor skills** and encourages creativity and problem solving.
