scrunchy tissue paper
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
We had some paper plates left over from an eatfest, so popped them out on the table with containers of coloured tissue paper and glue.
We like to leave it up to the children to decide what they would like to do with the materials which we present and just see where they go with it – we find they often have much better ideas than we would have. Children are good at thinking outside the square.
They enjoyed dipping the tissue paper into the glue instead of the using the usual brush.
We were blown away with the variety of shapes and patterns the children came up with. Some children enjoyed doing quite intricate work …
… while others went for the whole hand scrunch.
Sticky, slimy fingers – yummy!
Whatever way they went, they had fun!
