Toddler Activities: Puffy Shape Collage





Toddler Activities: Create a collage using fabric shapes. Embellish with buttons, feathers, felt or other collage materials to create an interesting, colorful piece.



puffy shape collage DESCRIPTION

A collage is one of those projects that are wonderful for little ones because there are no rules as to how it should look, and in fact the more random the objects are placed, the more interesting it can be. I feel strongly about letting the child be the "creator" with minimal guidance


MATERIALS

  • Loose fabric collage pieces, they come in different shapes, fabric texture and sheen. Sold at most craft stores or education supply stores.

  • Foam shapes in various colors and shapes

  • Ribbon, lace, fabric, felt (optional)
