Both of these activities were fun. The salt dough was fun to play with. It was sticky, so it was hard to form, but I like tactile things, so it was fine. I made easy shapes and I think they are really cute with some paint. I can see how fun this would be with little kids, you could try to stamp found objects or focus on organic forms.
The collage was fun too, I could see it being a good bridge to color theory. I liked the prompt and I do feel more connected to the piece after adding the personal memory. I chose the mountains of Colorado where I lived for many years (some of them in a tent). I found it helpful to start with 4 colors because it simplified the process.
