 * Assess prior knowledge, most 2nd graders already know that a collage is a mixture of materials fastened onto paper, but a quick review helps.
 * Have boxes for each table prepared with various materials, such as; yarn, feathers, wallpaper samples, construction paper (torn into small pieces), cotton balls, scissors, crayons
 * A colored paper is a good place to start. I give them a choice.

 * Step back and be amazed by their creativity!
