What to do
Gather a stack of old magazines and catalogues. Choose a theme with your child and go on a hunt for pictures connected to the theme (food, farm, family, animals, seaside, etc.). Cut out any pictures you find related to the theme. You can then spend time classifying and sorting the pictures (for example, for food, sort by food groups such as vegetables and meats, or by meals). You can count the pictures and talk about what pictures you didn't find. Once you've finished sorting, glue all pictures down on a piece of construction paper to create a collage and a great poster for your child's room.
