Paint, crumple, and glue to create a wreath for your home.
Materials:
- Paper plate or empty cereal box
- Washable paint
- Paintbrush
- Tissue paper (cut into 3” squares)
- Glue bottle
- Scissors- adult
- Ribbon or yarn
- Hole punch
- Paint palette or small dish
Instructions:
To prepare the wreath, cut the center from a paper plate to make a ring- you can also use a cereal box instead. Next, add a few dollops of paint to a paint palette or small dish. Paint the wreath and allow it to dry (you can quickly dry it using a hairdryer). Then crumple up tissue paper squares and glue them around the wreath. Punch a hole in the top, loop a ribbon through, and find a door to hang it on!
Tip- You can easily modify this activity to be seasonal by choosing colors that fit that season or holiday. Wreaths make a great DIY decoration!
