Bow Art

Recommended Ages: 2 years up    

Materials:

Gift bows (Dollar store bag works just fine.)
Construction paper
Foam or plastic bowls
Non-toxic liquid paint
Glue stick
Glitter
Directions:
Pour liquid pain into foam or plastic bowls. Place one or two bows beside each bowl of paint. Give each child a piece of construction paper. You can use square pieces or cut out different Christmas shapes like a star, tree, round ornament etc. ahead of time.

Let each child dip a bow into the paint lightly and let some of the paint drip off. Next they can press their bow into the paper to make a design. Have the children continue this using different colours of paint until their paper is covered. Finally they can sprinkle their artwork with glitter, or let the paint dry first then use a glue stick to make even more designs when the glitter is places on the glue.

You can use the art to decorate the classroom for the holidays.
