We have had an I SPY unit for several years and added a new activity to this year's lesson. The pictures are actual student work. The children were provided with lots and lots and lots of pre-cut pictures. We found pictures from children's magazines, our book club orders, various magazines and newspaper ads. Each child was given a piece of construction and filled it like an I SPY page. They did an AWESOME job!!! They are really doing a good job gluing items onto paper.
After you look for the items on your child's page, start to look for smaller items-sunglasses, cheese, black tires, things with a tail, a birthday hat, something you eat, etc. This will help build your child's vocabulary, too.
What else can you do? If you want to preserve your I SPY page, insert into a sheet/report cover or many office stores will laminate. Create rhyming clues for your child's page. Older children can also create this craft and create clues and rhymes like the official I SPY books. Check out the I SPY books from your local library.
