We love paper collages because most often than not, the materials are right at home and it’s really easy for young kids to follow. Presenting,

Self Portrait Collage

Children can make their self-portrait by putting different pieces of papers together. This collage activity is really fun because they can look at the mirror and actually make their own face.

We can see how children are viewing their faces. I think this activity is good for them to just explore and work with different types of papers and materials and turn it into an art piece.
