Pro Tip
Set out the supplies and state the finish line before inviting anyone in. A clear ending keeps this activity feeling like an adventure instead of another open-ended project.
Safety First
Use age-appropriate materials, supervise scissors and small pieces, and follow product directions for paint, glue, and adhesives. Keep supplies away from mouths and wash hands after messy materials.
