Almost like a first scrapbook page, this collage project is a great way to create a simple but appealing keepsake from a collection of everyday things -- whether they're found during a walk in the woods or on a hunt around the house. It's also a nice introduction to gluing, since a toddler's typical more-is-more approach works just fine here.
