This was my daughter's idea. I gave her some scrap matte board and white glue and she went to town! Busy for about 1/2 hour. Lately it has been difficult to get C into making things and this definitely sparked her interest. If it is "her idea" she is more likely to create...maybe it is just those 5 1/2 year olds? Be sure to check out all the beautiful nature collages below.
C easily gathered lots of nature around our yard to get her started. The great thing about making a making an outdoor nature collage is that the supplies are endless...
I love how simple the collages are. We even attempted a stick sculpture in the lower left corner. I loved making these too and I'm sure your children will love it because as you can see we had a blast!

ReplyDeleteВсе коллажи довольно интересны, молодец! Творчество на природе очень полезно. Попробуйте сделать с ребенком плетеный фон http://aninata.blogspot.com/2011/11/blog-post.html . Это будет настоящий ковер. Спасибо!!!
