Research the answers and talk them over with your children. See if some of the questions relate to their schoolwork. Use community resources. Watch for special events, such as festivals and exhibits at your local library, high school, community center, or shopping center. Collecting at Home Building collections gives children plenty of opportunities to practice and learn valuable skills that can be used every day.
Most children already have lots of stuff that can make up a collection.
It only takes a few dolls, comic books, baseball cards, buttons, stickers, seashells, or rocks to have the beginnings of a super collection that could become a lifetime hobby. When putting together their collection, ask your children to sort, organize, arrange, and label the objects in their collection. They can organize and rearrange their treasures by size, shape, color, or texture. This will teach them to look at their collection in many ways. Encourage them to discuss the patterns and relationships among their various pieces.
