Try simple paper collage for kids by cutting colored construction paper (good scissor skills practice!) then gluing the shapes to paper.
Updated July 2023
Here’s a super simple way to make collage art with your kids. All you need is some colored construction paper, scissors, glue, and a piece of cardstock for the background. That’s it!
And once you have your materials gathered, let you kids at it! They’ll have a blast cutting shapes and gluing them on the cardstock.
Paper Collage for Kids
MATERIALS
- Colored construction paper
- Scissors
- Posterboard or cardstock
- Glue or glue stick
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut
Let your child cut random pieces and shapes from the construction paper.
- Glue
Then, have them glue the pieces on to the cardstock. They can glue a random design or use the collage pieces to make a picture.
- Display!
Once the glue has dried, your child can hang their artwork somewhere special.
A variation of this art activity is using only black and white paper to make a visually striking piece of art!
If your child is still learning how to use scissors, sticker collages are a great alternative! Simply set out a bunch of stickers (dot stickers and hole reinforcement stickers are perfect for this!) and some paper, and let your child create!
We hope you give this collage activity a try! It’s so easy and yet so fun!
