Kids Activity: Painting with Yarn

We use a lo..ot of glue! Everytime I go to buy some, I buy in bulk! Not only does he loves squeezing glue, he forgets to put the cap on and so it dries up... every...damn..time! Putting on the cap is one thing I just can't get him to do. For this activity all we need is some yarn, glue, and paint.

I let him squeeze out a full tube of glue over his drawing sheet. He then spread it all over the sheet with a spatula. Then cut some yarn with his scissors into random lengths and he 'dropped' over the glue, to form squiggles.

 I 'pat' it down with the other end of the spatula.

Then he picked two colors and began coloring within the spaces! Although glue cracked a bit after drying, it turned out pretty okay.

Suggest using plastic bristled brushes for glue related painting! we used our normal ones, they didn't get spoilt thankfully!

  3. My kids would have loved this when they were younger. Now I'll tuck the idea away for my grandchildren. You might want to check your link on Modest Mom. I came here expecting to read about how reading is the best way to talk to your children :)
