Collages come in many different shapes and sizes, just like a child’s interests. Try any seasonal or holiday-themed collage box to see what your child creates!
Materials:
- White glue
- Solid piece of construction or card stock paper
- Geometric figures or scraps of multi-colored paper
To-do:
This is an open-ended activity. Simply provide the glue, perhaps in a small dish with a paint brush to limit the amount of glue available, and the scraps of paper.
Collage away! Your child will hone fine motor skills by using the paint brush to apply glue to the geometric pieces as well as use their pincer grip to place the scrap right where they want it.
Your child can create a collage “picture”, or simply arrange paper in a way that’s pleasing to them.
Hang your collages on display in your home, or start an album to store them.
