CHRISTMAS COLLAGE FOR KIDS

Christmas is a time to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Help your children to celebrate the season with a wonderful craft activity using simple things available in your home. Engaging kids with craft work make them more imaginative and creative. Here is a overall collage done by one of my student in Pre.k.g.

Things needed :

Whole Black chart
Construction papers in different colours 
Water colour 
Cotton 
Felt cloth in red and white colour
Glitters
Paint brush
Glue
Googly eyes 
Scissors 
Old toothbrush
Zig zag scissors


Preparations:

Draw an outline of snowy land, dilute white water colour and keep it ready for spraying, use construction papers to cut the pieces of Christmas tree, elves, gifts and houses, cut the felt sheets to make a Christmas cap.
Now get ready to make the collage.


Apply glue inside the outline and make your child stick cotton to it.
Stick the construction papers to make Christmas tree, elves, house and gifts.
Paint your child's palm in white and keep the impression on the chart to look like as Santa's beard.
Wash the hands and paint it brown to make a reindeer.
Now let it dry for few minutes, paste the felt pieces for Santa's cap, stick googly eyes and make a finger print to resemble as his nose and pink fingerprint for his cheeks.
Now keep fingerprints to complete the reindeer.
Use glitters to decorate the gifts.
Dip the toothbrush into the diluted white water colour and spray it throughout the chart to make the snow effect.
Use the paintbrush to draw moon, stars, reindeer's horn and entrance for the houses.
Allow it to dry, now your Christmas collage is ready to be framed.

Tip:
You can also use cotton to make igloos and snow man.
