Glitter and Glue
Arts and crafts with glitter and glue – also known as “how to entertain a toddler in three extremely messy steps”:
- Draw an “invisible” picture on a page with a glue stick
- Sprinkle liberally with glitter
- Tap the side of the page off the table to remove the excess glitter and reveal your masterpiece
Little Man just loved this activity – especially the big reveal at the end. I enjoyed it too but boy did I underestimate the mess to be cleaned up afterwards. Note to self: Put down sheets of newspaper before attempting this again.
I think we’re going to be picking glitter off our skin, clothes, and furniture for months!
Such a lovely idea, – I wonder if doing on a baking or tea tray would contain things a little although it’s not so bad to sparkle a bit 😉
You’re right – a little bit of sparkle is never a bad thing! But I sneezed earlier and sparkles came out. I wonder if that crosses the line into “too much sparkle”! 😉
