Art & Crafts With Little Birds: Contact Paper Collage #1

I wanted a easy craft that Greyson could do next to me while I got some office work done this morning and came up with Contact Paper Collages. I set up the project the night before. I found some great over-sized thick plastic place-mats at Target the other day. They are my new favorite things - perfect for project set-up.

2 sheets of really, really old contact paper I found in the cabinet and some shapes I cut out from old scrap booking supplies and construction paper is all it took.


So when the morning "fussies" hit I pulled the place-mat and Greyson went to town. He was really excited about the cars and trucks I cut out. But then he started on a second sheet and became enamored with shapes! We had a great time talking about shapes and colors all while staying clean and letting me get some office work done with my little buddy sitting right next to me.


Here is the final shape collage. I covered it in cling-wrap and it is now hanging on the fridge.


We'll finish the other one this evening when the "fussies" return.
