1st Grade Fabric and Felt Collages

Fabric and felt creations by 1st graders: a cat, a figure, and a colorful character on a pink background.

I loved these zig zag dolls by Patricia Saunders that were published in School Arts magazine earlier this year.  We have a large tub of fabric and felt scraps that I wanted to start using up.  After reading the book Zigzag the students dove into the box of fabric and started creating their own dolls and creatures.

We just used regular Fiskars kids scissors (set aside especially for cutting fabric) and school glue.  The pieces were glued on to white cardstock.

I love how charming these pictures turned out!
