Emma made this adorable duck collage after perusing the (fun!!!) projects in The Fantastic Rainy Day Book, which we checked out of the library.
There is a duck collage in the book, which is what gave her the idea, but she took it and ran, turning it into a very cute and unique picture.
Johnny and Lily were fascinated – and inspired to create their own (much more abstract) masterpiece!

It is super cute! My kids love to cut paper up, but they don’t tend to then make it into something as much.
