Paper cuts are a long-standing tradition of Polish peasant culture. The best-known, from Kurpie and Łowicz, were cut with sheep shears. They range from simple to intricate designs, from single-
colour cuts to collages and illustrated stories and have been used to decorate walls and windows. This makes them a perfect means to combine a creative activity with heritage language learning.
This activity helps participants understand idioms by turning them into creative drawings. While having fun, they learn the meaning behind unusual expressions, explore how language works, and practice using their imagination.
This module presents a series of activities for a long workshop to encourage preschool children to use language they know, to learn new words and to engage in various fun and creative activities with/without parents.
