Make and Take Craft: Out of This World Necklaces
Supplies:
-tissue paper
-glue sticks
-yarn
- Outer Space Shapes (prepared beforehand out of manilla folders)
-hole punch
Process:
As much mileage as I get out of construction paper collages, I get even more out of layering tissue paper. It just looks so pretty! And everyone can do it!
After story time, I handed out individual shapes, pieces of yarn and glue sticks. Then I placed plates of separated out tissue paper by color and let the kids go crazy. Some of them stuck to color schemes, others went off the book. Some didn't even want to decorate them at all, they just strung the yarn through and ran around with their new necklaces flapping.
Time:
Prep took about 45 minutes, with making the samples, and the total craft took about 20.
