This article documents the implementation of a professional development workshop on the Reggio Emilia approach in early childhood art education. It describes how early childhood educators participated in a collaborative collage experience and how a similar art activity can be engaging for young children. It also highlights philosophies, strategies, and elements of the Reggio approach and elucidates how they can be easily integrated into early childhood classroom praxis.
