Materials

Pre-cut magazine pictures

Paper, cardboard, box lid or paper plate for the base

Paste or glue

Pens or crayons

Instructions

1. Choose a magazine picture.
2. Cut an important part from the picture such as the head of a dog, a baby's foot, or a glass of
milk. Glue it to the base of the paper or cardboard.
3. Choose another unrelated magazine picture and add a part of that picture to the first part. The
idea is to make a silly picture combining unrelated parts such as the head of a dog, the body of
a boy, two feet made of bananas, and so on.
4. When a substantially silly picture is complete, dry for an hour or so.
More to do
More art: Glue a part from a magazine picture on a piece of paper. Give the artist the challenge of
adding other parts to the pre-glued piece.
