At Orchids, we conducted tearing and pasting competition for our pre-primary students on 20/04/12. We made the students tear papers. Tearing up paper into tiny bits is fun. This helps them to develop their fine motor skills. Participation, curiosity, dedication and spark in the eyes of each child here, gave a new meaning to the word ‘Competition’. No matter who gets the prize, children were busy till the last minute.
Paper Tearing is a technique that can add texture, dimension to the pages. It requires no tools. It is fast and easy, and gives a unique look to the pages. Paper Tearing can be used almost anywhere, but one of its most common uses is to embellish objects that don't have an even edge. Paper tearing is a good starting point for young children. This activity holds a lot of importance.
