Tissue Paper Collage
[20 Minutes]
Together with your child create a beautiful mosaic from tissue paper.
You'll need:
• tissue paper • water • glue • small paper cup • paintbrush • paper • scissors
What to do:
- Help your child cut or tear tissue paper into small pieces.
- Mix a solution of half water and half glue.
- Invite your child to place a piece of tissue on a sheet of paper and to paint over it with the glue solution, covering it completely. Show her how to paint lightly on the pieces so that they don't get too wet.
- Encourage your child to add more pieces, overlapping their edges and to "paint" each piece into place.
- The finished product will be a beautiful mosaic.
Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.
