My Thoughts and Feelings Collage
By Brenda Hyde
With the world changing, and so much violence on
television and in the headlines it's important to
find activities and family projects that will help
our children express their feelings. This is also
a wonderful thing to do after a loss in the family
or another type of crisis.
You will need current newspapers, as well as older
magazines, poster board, glue, scissors and dark
colored markers.
Have your children cut headlines and pictures from
newspapers and magazines about current events or anything
related to how they may be feelings. Explain that
you want them to look for things that express how they
feel inside. You may encourage them to look for colored pictures in old
magazines that show how they feel about America for instance. An
example might be photos of parks, famous places, or
even people.
Once they have a grouping of things picked
out, have them arrange them on a piece of poster board
and glue them in place. With a dark marker they can
write their feelings inbetween the pictures.
These collages can serve as family discussion tools
or simply as a way for kids to express their feelings.
