Crafts+With+Paper

=Paper Dolls=


 * 1) Fold a piece of paper in half.
 * 2) Fold each edge of the page back to the fold. (You should now have a little accordian.)
 * 3) Have your child draw a person or animal, making sure that it touches both sides of the folded paper (where the folds are).
 * 4) Cut around the shape, or help your child cut around the shape. Make sure you do NOT cut around the edges - this is where the paper dolls will attach to each other.
 * 5) Unfold, and decorate. Your child can colour in the people, or cut out pieces of clothes to glue on.

=Collage=


 * 1) Cut out small shapes of many different colours of paper.
 * 2) Collect other collage materials: pasta in different shapes, buttons, twigs and leaves, craft feathers, foam shapes, etc.
 * 3) Glue the small pieces of paper and other collage materials on a piece of paper to make a picture or a pattern.
