::: scrunchy tissue paper
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!

What a lovely find your blog is (via Adventures at Home). I have 3 children aged 7months, 2 and 4 and you’ve given me lots of great ideas for playtime. Loved the dinosaur eggs too and will definitely be trying that when the weather warms up here in the UK.
::: Welcome Bristol Parenting Cafe it’s nice to have you here … enjoy those dinosaur eggs!
I plan to give this a try. Can’t get much more simple, and I just ordered a bunch of tissue paper too!
::: Have fun with it Kristi!
Perfect timing! I have the tissue paper out from last week and it’s already cut into small pieces.
::: As they say Tom ‘timing is everything’ so have fun!
