Tissue Paper Poinsettias

Materials

  • Red tissue paper
  • Circle cut from yellow construction paper
  • White paper
  • Glue
  • Water
  • Paintbrush

1- Have children rip red tissue paper into strips

2- Mix equal parts glue and water to get a “runny” glue consistency. After children have ripped paper into strips, have them glue the strips down using a paintbrush over the red tissue paper. Encourage the kids to glue the paper in a circle formation like petals on a flower. This is a process project and the outcome may be abstract.

3- After red strips are glued on, add a yellow circle for the middle of the poinsettia. If your kids are unsure how to glue their strips down, you can start with the yellow circle first and then add the strips.
