Kids Can Collage in an Extra Fun Way

Collage with circles and squares

Collage for kids with a twist is a different way of giving children art collage but adding a new spin on it.

There are so many different types of collage you can give children especially shape collages.

The point is to try to add new ways of doing things by making children think and solve problems and at the same time greatly enhancing their creativity.

So for this activity in case it wasn’t so clear form the video I chose a few different materials for the children to use for their collage.

I decided to stick with shapes for this one and chose a few pieces of foam in a few colors. I also cut up some brown paper bags into different shapes.

I then cut up some of the shapes and glued them on individual cards.

Each child was allowed to choose 3 cards from the pile with them turned over so they couldn’t see what they were choosing.

The children then had to go over to the table with their cards and choose how many they wanted to collage with only choosing the shapes and material that were on their cards.

They then went back to their table and created their collages.

You will once again notice how differently children collage.

See how you can use YOUR imagination by thinking of different ways to do collage that helps the children with their creativity so much.

Happy collaging
