Childhood collages

Do you miss being a kid sometimes? I'm visiting my hometown sometime next week, and I thought it was fitting to post some pictures of kids collages that I came across recently. It really gives me warm feelings to think about my first collages, and there was a time when all of us did them! These are some adorable photographs of collages and paper sculptures, but I don't know anything about this website because it's in Japanese (anyone care to help translate?).

Found via a a A, a blog I just started reading. Maybe I will look for some of my old artwork from when I was a kid, that would be fun.























The following pictures are from Fine Little Day, and I love these cute collages.





I encourage you to share if you have images of your kids collages, or even your own from way back when : ) Have a great weekend!
