Playgroup craft
It was my turn to host craft today at playgroup. I drew this picture of an elephant. I printed copies for the kids to stick coloured bits of tissue paper onto the image. I thought originally to use heavier paper for the collage, but decided on the tissue paper so you can still see the image once the paper is stuck on. The kids loved playing with the glue pots. Its a cleaner way to get them used to the action of painting.
Ethan wanted to pop the cotton balls from the following craft activity into the glue pots!! He walked away with cotton balls stuck to his cord pants!! I didn't get a photo of it though, the mum hosting that craft hastily pulled them off his pants. I was tempted to paste more on just for the funny photo!

Hi Anna, I just stumbled across your blog through Zukzuk and it's gorgeous. I absolutely love this paper quilt-ish project for the kids. I was wondering, did the tissue dye run when it was wet with glue or is that just something that happens with crepe paper? Alisa
Hi Alisa, No the tissue paper doesn't run. Not the brands I have used anyway... We used a wheat based children's paste for gluing.
