Here’s an idea to capture the great walk you had today with your preschooler, or the trip to the park or the beach…

When you return home, round up some collage materials, and make a collage of your day.

• Little pieces of cotton wool can double as clouds.
• Use dried leaves or small broken off twigs to make the ground.
• If your day involved a campfire, use matchsticks bunched up together like a bonfire, with red paper and cotton wool painted gray for smoke.
• Use pictures of boys, girls, and dogs cut out from magazines and books, for kids playing at the park.
• Make frisbees from cut out paper.
• Use markers to add detailing.

It’s a great way to boost her memory of her day, and also increase her vocabulary as you ask her about all the things she saw. As she creates the collage, she’ll remember more stuff, that you can add as you go along. Improvise with materials.

Enjoy!
