Collage Art

Art may seem like fun and games — and it is! — but you may not realize that your child is actually learning a lot through exploring the arts and doing art activities. Your children will gain useful life skills through art, so encourage them to get creative.

I do love to recycle and I am using everything possible to make sure we used everything we could before we throw things away. Again, a very simple Summer collage where I used some cut out pictures from magazines and I let the children create a summer landscape. When they glued their favourite pictures, they had the option to paint some bits of the collage, thus using 2 techniques: gluing and painting.

I’ve done this activity with 2.5 years old and they had great fun! We discussed about brushing teeth and we made this art piece, underlining the fact that we have top teeth that need to be brushed, too!!! This collage can be also used when talking about diversity (different types of skin), or about parts of our body.

This fruit basket is a simple activity that can be done with children 2+ underlining the importance of eating fruits as part of our healthy diet every day.

This is a simple, fun, creative Autumn activity to do with your children. The Red tree is a picture you can help your children do for themselves and the one on the black background is a display board where each child painted/glittered different sizes/colours/shapes of leaves and then, we put all of them together to create an Autumn Tree Display Board.
