Collage tutorial
- First, let your child gather the materials they want to use for their collage: old magazines that they can shred and shred at will; crepe paper; scraps of material or ribbons of fabric to cut to your heart’s content; feathers and leaves. Give your child freedom of choice and you will be amazed at how creative and original it is.
- Your child then sticks the selected materials onto the paper. If they want, they can draw other motifs on the collage with colored pencils.
- Let him decide whether he would rather create an abstract image or an image with a specific theme. In summer, the beach and sea theme is ideal for a collage. For this you collect, for example, scraps of paper in different shades of blue, which you stick to the paper.
