Industrial Cityscape by: Kitah Daled

The Kitah Daled children enjoy collecting things.

 When they go on nature walks or when they play on the playground,

the children often find “treasures.” 

These treasures are sometimes rocks and other bits of nature, 

but more often they are a piece of string, a bead, or some other piece of trash. 

These children also spend a lot of their time building with blocks, Magna-Tiles, 

and other manipulatives. 

This fascination with trash to treasure led us to the concept of recycling

and thinking about what these “treasures'' could become. 

Their enthusiasm for building led us to think about building with recycled materials.

The Kitah Daled children are currently working on creating their own world out of

boxes and other recycled materials. (You will be introduced to these on Siyum Night.)

In order to make something a little more upscale, 

we collected  a variety of metal  “treasures”  such as keys, 

jewelry findings, hardware bits, bottle caps, wind chimes, and other odds and ends. 

The children glued these pieces together, creating their own skyscrapers. 

They then arranged them into skylines in four metal trays of varying sizes. 

We glued them into the trays. 

Tiny metal stars were glued along the top of each skyline as a finishing touch. 

Holes were drilled into the tops of the trays 

and chains were cut and attached for hanging.
