August 2012 series
Tissue paper crafts for preschoolers
Directions:
Option 1 -- Start with a sheet of white tissue paper. Let the child paint with watercolors and watch the tissue change texture and shape as it absorbs and then dries the water! For the finial touches, feel free to let them add any embellishments such as googly eyes, glitter, etc.
What happens when you put water color paints on tissue paper? Something magical! (At least that's the story according to my 4 year old!) In his summer school class, they did an undersea project and made fish. From start to finish, my son was in charge of his project; hence why this looks more like 'interpretative art' since his limited cutting skills cut off snip the fins! Despite the unique shape of his fish, he was incredibly proud of his very own creation!!

Option 2 -- Another idea is to let the child drizzle school glue onto a piece of paper, spread evenly with a paint brush and then have the child lay down pre-cut strips of tissue paper. Then cut the paper into the desired shape to create the object. To seal and add texture, brush the top with a light coat of water, then embellish.
