Materials Needed

Craft foam
Construction paper
Scissors
Glue (optional)

Safety Guidelines

Always let your child use child-safe scissors.

Steps

	1.	Cut out different kinds of lines from craft foam or construction paper. Make some straight, curved, wavy or zigzag ones.
	2.	Show your child how to put the line pieces together to come up with shapes and images. Straight lines can make geometric shapes like a triangle, square, rectangle, diamond and star.
	3.	Curved lines can make a circle, an oval, or even a rainbow.
	4.	Combine the different kinds of lines and come up with other shapes or images such as a heart, house or sun.
	5.	Use your imagination and create lots of interesting things. Remember everything around us can be depicted by lines.
	6.	You can even make a simple picture or landscape. I've combined the lines to create a picture of a home, which includes a house, a car, a tree and clouds.
	7.	Here's a sailboat with a seascape background.
	8.	Glue the pieces on paper to create a framed composition or keep the line pieces for later use.

Earth Friendly Tips

Keep scraps of craft foam or paper when making your craft projects. They can be used to make crafts like this one that only require bits and pieces of craft foam or paper.
