This is the artwork that started it all. I was volunteering in my son’s 2nd grade class and two students went off to a corner to make a birthday card for a friend. I turned around to see this, and my view of what kids can create has never been the same since.1. When it comes to collage, it helps to give students a theme so they have a starting place to work with. Distribute standard paper for a background, and divide up collage papers into equal groups, and let the students start to create. I had found a high end stationary store that was willing to donate their damaged papers to me.
This artwork came out of a class that was working with a Valentine Card theme, but a birthday card was needed for a missing student and voila!

Hi Kathy. I often come over to look at your projects, which are wonderful--I want to do them myself! Just wanted to say thanks--and you should do a book!!
I think we may have to make a cake collage next week.
Just poking my head in to say: what a sweet story! I have been reading for awhile and love your projects. I use them with my kids (ages 9,7 and 4) a lot, and sometimes their whole classrooms. Thanks for all the inspiration!
This is adorable!
If this is the project that started it all, how blessed we all are for it! I teach Afterschool Art at my local YMCA. Your lessons have helped me develop fun, simple, cost-effective projects that really teach the fundamentals of art.
