Looking for collage art ideas for kids? I have more than 50 for you here on The Artful Parent!

Collage, or the assemblage of different materials, is one of the foundation art activities for childhood.

Kids can use glue, colored masking tape, stickers, or contact paper to stick their different materials together.

They can collage on paper, cardboard, windows, 3-D objects, and even bodies.

Kids can collage with googly eyes, rainbow feathers, tissue paper, fabric scraps, beans, washi tape, cotton balls, buttons, ribbon, and more.

They can collage small or collage large.

The options are endless!
