Making Collages PDF Print E-mail

You will need:

  • White or coloured card

  • As many unwanted magazines as you can find (good opportunity to clear out the kiddie magazines as well!)
  • Scissors
  • Glue

art and craft

 

Instructions:

Cut out lots of pictures from the magazines.

Have your child draw out a picture on the card that they want to create, e.g. a garden, sea scene, farm, zoo

Glue the magazine pictures onto the card to create a collage.  Encourage your child to use pens and other craft items to decorate their collage.
    For older kids, mosaic projects are good fun, where you take a page of a magazine, cut it into small pieces and then glue onto paper or card again leaving a gap between the pieces to give the mosaic effect.  Or, alternatively, draw out the shape of something that will be filled in with different colours from magazine pieces, to make up a new mosaic shape.
