This is a wonderful activity to build fine motor skills which build to writing skills later. Just give a one/two year old magazines or paper and let them rip away with adult supervision to ensure child does not eat paper. Wash child up when child has decided that he has had enough. The next day or so you can follow up with other extension activities such as ripping different texture papers or taking ripped pieces from another day and child can stick them onto the sticky side of contact paper. Just watch out for your paper after showing young child this activity.
