Tissue Paper Art for kids of all ages!

Weekend Re-Post!
A new activity will be posted Monday.
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

I have been getting requests for some more complicated crafts for older siblings so today I am offering up two crafts using the same materials that will keep preschoolers and school age kids busy!

Twisted Tissue Flowers

You may remember this art project from your school days, it was a favorite of mine as a student and teacher. Some preschoolers have the dexterity for this craft but generally I would suggest this for Kindergarten and up.

  1. Gather your materials. You will need tissue paper in your desired colors. Some card stock, or better yet an old cereal box or other piece of light card board. A pencil or small marker and some glue.
  2. Cut the tissue paper into squares no bigger than 2×2 inches.
  3. Draw the picture you are going to make. Don’t worry if you make a mistake the tissue paper will cover it anyway.
  4. Take one or two pieces of paper and place your marker or pencil end in the middle.
  5. twist the tissue around the end
  6. Dip in glue and place on picture.
  7. Keep going until your picture is done!

Easy Peasy Tissue Collages

  1. Using the same materials as above – tissue paper, cardstock or construction paper and glue.
  2. Spread the glue around the paper and start putting the paper on!
  3. It’s that simple, you can do several layers and like my son they may decide to move pieces around after gluing them. That’s okay too!
