Five Senses Texture Collage Process Art
Your preschooler can explore their sense of touch with this texture collage process art project. With just some art materials, paper, and some school glue, allow your child to explore their artistic expression, sight, and sense of touch!
During our five senses unit, I wanted to incorporate at least a few easy activities and art projects that focused on one or two senses at a time. This one obviously focuses on the sense of touch, but it also hits sight of course, and artistic expression.
Using the art materials I already had in our homeschool closet, I was able to get my son set up with quite a fun process art station!
For those of you that aren’t familiar with what it is, here is a detailed guide on process art.
Essentially, for this activity, you’ll set your child up with the necessary materials, and step back! Allow for open exploration!
I provided my son with buttons, yarn, puffy glitter stickers, small glass gems, aquarium rocks, salt, feathers, various pom-poms, and rubber bands.

Five Senses Texture Collage Process Art
Children are naturally wired for sensory exploration, which is great news, considering sensory play literally helps their brains make new connections.
In a sensory activity like this one, your child will naturally explore the various textures, and figure out what they want to create with what they’re given. You can also talk about it out loud. Discussion is always a good thing!
Talk about the colors, the way each item feels (rough vs smooth, hard vs soft), size comparisons, and any other observations you have about each material.
