I am always looking for kindergarten lessons that all children can successfully do and be proud of. This lesson is a great one to use early on in the year because there is no "correct" way to complete it. You can't mess it up! I started the students off with a 9x12 white sheet of paper and gave them various texture rubbing plates and crayons. We discussed implied texture- texture that you can only see and actual texture- texture that you can see AND feel. The students are always amazed at how the bumpy patterns from the texture plates show up on their page when colored over! Once our paper was covered with texture, we used a simple watercolor wash over the entire page. The following week we tore our papers into large pieces and glued them to a bright background. We then discussed and practiced drawing various types of lines such as zig zag, wavy, spiral, curly etc. and used a black crayon to draw each type of line across our collage.
