Want to keep your Preschooler busy for hours?

Give him or her a hole punch and a bunch of collage materials!

The hole punch itself should be good for at least 20 minutes of fun, well worth the tiny circles you'll be sweeping out of the corners for a week. Zara has enjoyed this animal collage kit by ALEX that she was given by her Great Aunt Maria. I love that this kit came with a plethora of materials, way more than needed to decorate the 4 animal shapes.
Here are some of the completed animals, Zara hung the pig up before its eyes (2 big, funky buttons) were dried on so they fell off.

Last and most amazing, check out Zara's free-form, multi-material, 3-dimensional collage! She worked on this piece for a long time, stacking packing peanuts is tricky for someone still trying to master glueing, but she persevered and the result is fabulous!
