Magazine to collage

I recently had a little collection of magazines on my dresser, ominously growing in size, that I needed to go through so I could throw them out and purge my house and soul of OCD-inducing clutter (I like to save articles). I had D go through them with me and choose any pictures he wanted so he could make some collages. It was funny to see some of the stuff that he thought was cool. So, he chose, then I cut, then he glued and stuck, then I glued and he stuck, then he got bored and all gluing ceased immediately. He made about six little collages and still has enough pictures for probably six more.

Two things I learned: a four-year-old's attention span is not much different than a three-year-old's; glue sticks are
way better for this kind of business than regular ol' Elmer's.
