Obviously he didn’t get there from just the gluey paper and giant block towers, but…. Collage doesn’t get the credit it deserves: Every piece of paper, every placement, and every material choice is a tiny decision your child gets to practice making. Unlike bigger choices that might feel overwhelming (like picking an outfit, a toy, or a snack), these small decisions come with zero pressure. When children freely explore and place materials, they’re practicing the same skills they need for everyday independence, like getting started, staying focused, and choosing between options. And the best part? There’s no “wrong” way to do it. Each choice is a small win, gradually building the confidence they need for bigger decisions later on. If you want to learn more about how a simple paper collage can build your child’s confidence and executive function COMMENT GLUE and I’ll send you the link to the FREE article. (And if glue mess isn’t for you? There’s a glue free option included) Thanks nate....
