Rip scraps of tissue paper or lay out the tissue paper squares. (I added them to the supply list above for no prep work)

Step 4

Demonstrate how to lay one piece of tissue paper on the mitten and “paint” over it with the glue/water solution.

Step 5

Watch and chat about how the colors change as more layers are added.

Step 6

Let the mitten dry completely.

Step 7

Cut the mitten.

Step 8
