Gok, watch out! We have our own little fashion designers at Grasslands Kindergarten. The children dressed the cut out dolls using material scraps. They designed their own outfits. This activity allowed the children to design in their head then select materials, arrange and alter their garments and model them! As you can see they got very creative. Fantastic work tamariki!
There is some debate about whether we should use templates with children because one school of thought is that it can stifle children's creativity and originality. However as we have shown templates can be used to support the development of the children's own original ideas! We just need to think beyond the obvious and get creative as educators!
