What you need:
- used school glue like Elmer's (You don't need a full bottle.)
- black tempra/poster paint (Why? Because it's washable!)
- stir stick to reach the bottom of the glue bottle
- heavy paper like a watercolor paper
- markers, crayons, oil pastels, water colors, or any other medium you like (we used markers)
What to do:
- Add black paint to the glue bottle no need to measure just add enough to color it black.
- Stir the glue with your stick (craft sticks work well, I also shook the bottles to mix).
- Take your paper and glue outside (no need to clean up or use newspapers).
- Squirt the glue onto the paper in any pattern desired (we made them abstract).
- Let the kiddos play outside for a while
- Take the papers and glue back inside and let dry over night.
- Once dry, color with the medium of your choice.
I personally liked the ones that the kids left some white paper showing. Some students chose to color patterns and designs while others just used solid colors. It's a project I'll use over again and I might even tweak it to make it more advanced for the older students. Happy creating!
