Give your little one an exercise in teamwork by creating a collage with her. Take a moment to think of an experience you both love and assemble the scene using various pieces of colored paper.
What you need:
-
Short bond paper
-
Colored paper, old magazines, leftover gift wrappers, etc.
-
Scissors
-
Glue
-
Pencil
What to do:
-
Once you’ve nailed down the scene you both want to create (ex: your beach trip, her basketball game, etc.), help your child sketch it out. Make sure to leave wide, open spaces for you to fill in later.
-
Cut or tear the colorful paper you gather earlier into small pieces.
-
Paste these pieces according to color onto your drawing and slowly build your collage together.
