Glue Craft: Christmas Ornaments

What You Do:

1. Have your child lay down a few sheets of wax paper on a flat surface.
2. Make a few different colors to work with by mixing white glue and food coloring in some empty containers.
3. Have your child pour or paint small blobs of colored glue onto the wax paper.
4. Form different shapes with the glue, like circles, diamonds or tear drops. The more variety, the better!
5. Let the ornaments dry overnight. As they dry, the colors will become more intense and slightly translucent.
6. Then comes the fun part! Carefully peel them off the wax paper and if necessary, trim off any rough edges.
7. Next, help your child cut pieces of thread about 5" long. Fold each piece in half to make a loop and glue the ends to the back of each ornament. Let dry.
8. Now your child can decorate the ornaments with more colored glue and sprinkle glitter on top for a dazzling ornament!

Now you can add sparkle to your tree!
