Torn-Paper Landscape

Build a landscape that could only come from your child's imagination. Paper textures and unexpected shapes make room for choosing, arranging and giving ideas a visible form. The activity brings both hands into a creative task while leaving the picture's story entirely open to interpretation. Try a version that suits today, with four optional approaches and a grown-up sharing the discovery.
