I had really high hopes for this week being a test of how well I could work with the girl at home.

I cleared off most of a shelf in my office and filled it with lots of different activities: books, puzzles, projects and fun stuff to try. Make a collage with old art to see it in a different way.

My idea was that she would want to hang out in my office and use those things, and I could get work done while she happily played.

Didn’t happen. She didn’t even set foot upstairs from last Saturday through yesterday.

One of the things I set up for her was a collage with old art project. collage old art materials

I cut one mostly green page into long rectangles for stems. I cut leaf and petal shapes, rectangles, squares and triangles.

Then I just used some to make a design.

I hope she’ll still come to this project at some point, and she’ll have my examples as inspiration when she does, but this is a fun way for anyone to give old art a new look. They’re great decorations for a playroom, art area or studio, too.

If you or your kids try this one I’d love to see the results. Add an #ourdailycraft hashtag on Instagram.
