I bought a
roll of double-sided tape the other day. This turned in to glitter art, sand sensory activities and even a tissue paper collage. It’s less of a mess than
glue is, but still perfect for process explorations. Initially, I wanted to use
black glitter to create a faux stained glass painting (we had leftover black
glitter from last Halloween). As it turns out, the black glitter leaked all
over my ‘art basket’. So, that was out. Instead, I swapped in colorful glitter –
but, you can use whatever shade you have on hand. The original idea was also to
make each ‘color block’ its own shade (similar to a coloring page). I quickly realized
that it was much more fun to try different finger paint techniques – and it all
added to the sensory experience!
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
Card
stock paper
·
Tempera
paints
·
Double-sided
tape
·
Glitter
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Create a design with the tape on the
paper. Your child can outline the card stock, and then make a geometric
pattern, abstract design or even a simple figure.
2. Sprinkle the glitter onto the tape.
Shake off the excess and save it for another art activity.
3. Pour the paint into pools. I like to
use wax paper or kitchen foil instead of a pricey palette.
4. Paint each section. Your child can go
with solids, mix and blend or create points with the paint.
That’s it!
One of the reasons why this kids’ art exploration is so simple is that you don’t
need to wait between steps two and four. If you use glue and glitter you need
to wait a few hours for everything to dry before your child can paint. With the
double-sided tape option there’s no waiting!
