Pic Collage

Click the Pic Collage logo to visit the official app website.
We are sure that you remember, just like we do, making a collage in school using pictures you cut out and pasted from a magazine.  Now you can do that in one handy app.

Pic Collage might be one app that you find yourself using even more than your kids!  It is a great way to fuse together a few pictures describing an idea, event, or person.  You can use pictures you have taken or pictures from the internet.  Then you can add text to your collage.

Last week, third graders in Miss Cattron's room created this collage about their new classroom.


Pic Collage is available for Apple or Android products.

Tips for Parents

  • Ask your child to make a pic collage of what he or she did at school today.
  • Make a pic collage of a family vacation.  Ask your student to write a story about what he or she did there.
  • Use pic collage to retell a story using only pictures.
  • Use pic collage to practice sequencing - the order in which events happen in a passage.
  • Make a collage of items that belong together.  Have your child defend their groups of items.
  • Use pic collage to practice vocabulary or spelling words.  Have your student type in the word and then use pictures that represent the word.
