Magazine Collage

Making collages from magazines can be simplified for pre schoolers. They love glue and sticking so this activity is a winner.

Materials

Cardboard

Magazine

Glue

Paintbrush

Marker pen

Scissors

Method

Cut a magazine into different sized strips or let your child rip up pieces. My son isn't quite 3 yet so while the ripping was fun the pieces were a bit too scrunched to use.

Cut strips of magazine for younger kids and let slightly older children rip their own into different sized pieces. You could also use coloured paper

Use a piece of cardboard for the base ( we used a piece of a cereal box).

Let your toddler spread glue all over the cardboard.
