self-portrait
Got scraps? Put them
to use and create a
frame-worthy piece of
art with your kiddo. Vicki
Boutin and her son Riley
whipped up this collage
masterpiece using his
photo as a reference.
They roughly sketched
his head and shoulders
on background paper and
filled in the outlines with
paper scraps matching his
hair, skin, and shirt.

To make eyes, cut
circles from papers
that match your child’s
peepers and layer
them on white ovals.
Layer a torn piece
of paper over the
bottom third of your
collage for a horizon.
