Need an easy screen-free activity to take up an afternoon? Repurpose old junk mail into a piece of art that doubles as a story prompt. In this fun and simple activity, kids (and grown-ups) build a face by making a collage. Once each person's face is complete, use the faces as prompts to create characters and build fun and fabulous stories.

Create a story about your character - perhaps they're going to the grocery store or on vacation. Maybe he or she is starting at a new school.
