There’s nothing worse than a rainy day with young children who would want to play outside if they could. Being stuck indoors can feel very restrictive, but if you have some options for rainy days to fall back on then these days will feel a lot easier. A great choice for a simple and fun activity is collaging. Here are some reasons why this is a great idea for a rainy day.
Super Satisfying
There’s something really satisfying about cutting out images and sticking them down. This is also great practice for hand-eye coordination in children and will help develop their motor skills.
Interesting Way to be Creative
Collaging is a lovely creative activity, and it’s also very different from something like drawing. Instead of creating something from scratch, you’re looking at images and envisioning what could be created from them. There’s so much room to play around with and this unique form of creativity is very rewarding.
Fun End Product
As mentioned above, there are endless options for the different images that can be created. Whether it’s a creature made up of different objects, or a view of a pretty park with interesting flowers, the end results of this activity will be fun and entertaining.
