In the past I have tried to limit overuse of materials such as glue because we were on a right budget and had a limited supply of things like glue. (We even diluted glue to try and make it last longer!) What is your take on limiting consumption of a material, like glue, so that all the children can use it moderately instead of just a few using all of it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625324815434631914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-16076432524637980942017-06-10T19:04:55.490-07:002017-06-10T19:04:55.490-07:00Oh, wise Teacher Tom.

I had let go and thought I was just "giving up" by not continuing to debate with the children about how much glue, glitter, googly eyes, etc. to use. It felt wrong to argue with them about their art creations, but I also felt guilty for allowing the waste. However, your blog has helped me to understand that it is truly a process. Little artists have to figure it out for themselves and when they do and when they're ready, we can help them to understand the value of conservation.
