Collage Fun At Home

Hello Good Peoples

Hope that all of you are safe and doing well.

Welp, We are mostly home with our kids and the kids

are bored and need something to do and you as well.

Okay so here is a little collage project that I wanted to

share with you all. All you need is...

White paper, colored or printed craft paper, gift wrap or what

have you, crayons, markers, colored pencils or temper paint

will do, scissors and glue. That's it!

Watch the video and you will see what to do.

Have fun and please come and tell me all about it or

show me what you all have created! Until then,

be safe and creative!
