DAILY PLAN
Lesson Title: Introduction to Texture Grade Level: Pre K
S & S Statements: In this lesson, we are introducing the idea of tactile texture though having students
manipulate paper, string and pipe cleaners in various ways. This lesson
plans to introduce students on how to use scissors with purpose and how
paper can be torn or crumpled to create texture. Students will learn how
textures add visual interest and describe objects. During this stage of
development, children need to be exposed to using tools like scissors in
order to develop their fine motor skills and to prepare them for kindergarten.
Concept and Skills: The main concept that students will learn in this lesson is how textures can
create visual interest as well as convey different properties about objects
through manipulating paper, pipe cleaners and strings.
Academic Language: Texture, Collage, Crumple, Tear
Purpose of Lesson (Overall Lesson Objective):
Students will develop an introductory level of understanding the concept of texture and how it relates
to describing different types of objects. Their collaged elements will be saved for a future lesson where
their pieces will be put together to create a story.
Learning Objectives:
Technical: After a demonstration on manipulating paper, pipe cleaners and string, students will
successfully know how to cut out at least one curved and one straight object from paper and how to
manipulate two other unconventional materials to create a collage.
(State Standard: Pre K VA:Cr2.1.PK)
Conceptual: Given samples, students will demonstrate a clear understanding of how different types
of textures can come together in order to describe and represent objects.
(State Standard: Pre K VA: Cr2.3.PK)
Assessment Criteria:
Ability to manipulate given materials (string, pipe cleaners, paper) to create textures.
Effective use of scissors to cut different shapes.
Teaching Resources Needed to Support the Lesson:

Paper to introduce the lesson
Scissor Cutting Tutorial with monitor display (optional)
Final Collage example
Art Materials Necessary for the Lessons:
String/Yarn (thick and thin sizes)
Construction Paper of various colors 4x8 inches
Pipe Cleaners (cut to 6 inch and 4 inch)
Scissors
Ziploc Gallon Bags (for storage)
Black crayons

to show other alternative textures. Black crayons will
also be available so students will be able to draw out
their shapes for cutting or to add detail to their
collaged elements.
During this time, I will make sure that students are

cutting safely and effectively in order to get their
desired shapes for their narrative. Students will also
be reminded that pipe cleaners are sharp at the ends
in order to reduce poking accidents.
Conclusion:
At the end of the lesson, we will review the different
shapes they were able to create with paper and their
plans for their composition in the next lesson.
Time Frame:
5 minutes: Introduction of texture through
manipulating paper.
5 minutes: Demonstration on how to cut with
scissors, tear/crumple paper as well as bending pipe
cleaners and fray string.
15 minutes: All teachers will hand out of different
colored papers and assisting students with cutting,
tearing and ripping.
10 minutes: Cleaning up paper and collecting their
pieces to be placed in bags. Then handing out pipe
cleaners and string for them to manipulate. Assisting
teachers will also help write their names on the
plastic bags to be saved for the next lesson.
5 minutes: Collecting their pipe cleaners and string
for their collage bags, clean up for scraps.
5 minutes: Review of what they learned about
texture, their narrative ideas as well as any
questions regarding how to cut properly.
