Contact Paper Red Collage

Materials       
Small red items, such as red buttons, beads, pieces of tissue paper or construction paper, cut-up straws, pipe cleaners, ribbon, yarn, etc.
Large sheet of clear contact paper
Masking tape

Directions   
Cut the contact paper to the size you’d like your collage to be.  Peel off the backing and use masking tape to tape the contact paper, sticky side up, to a flat surface.  (A low window works well, as it lets the light shine through!)

Invite your toddler to press the items you’ve gathered onto the sticky surface.  When the interest wanes, you can loosely stick the backing back on to save the project for later. Otherwise, turn your finished collage over and smooth it to the window (you might need some masking tape reinforcement if the collage is heavy) for all to enjoy!
