Tons of old magazines; ideas?

Cut items out and glue to corrogated cardboard - ie a packing box. If you use podgy it also laminates as in spread a layer of podgy on cardboard, lay picture on top - no glue needed, then brush a layer of podgy over the picture and off the edges. Let dry and put another layer of podgy on. When dry cut them out and give them to the kids to use in play such as adding cars and people to blocks, food items to the kitchen area.

Since a lot of ads are repeated in magazines find identical pictures and mount them onto cards. Have the children use them for matching and sorting.

Ask them to find all of the cards with red on them or sort them by things that go or people or things we eat. Sort the people cards by size ie babies, toddlers, teens, adults, grandparents.
