Today on the way home from picking Nikki up from school she told me about having lunch at school for the first time and about an art project they did at school today. As soon as we got home she asked for some paper and glue to show me what they did. Then we decided to do our own little projects at home.
I'm helping Garrett with his project.

Nikki already knew how to do it so the only help she needed was cutting out her paper.
And there they are all finished. Garrett made a flower. Nikki made the butterfly and her friend made the ladybug. Her friend decided to give the ladybug to her mom for her birthday since it is tomorrow. So she left it here until then so it would be a surprise.
Here's an up close look. We started out by cutting out the main shape of the butterfly, ladybug, and flower on construction paper. Then I cut out little pieces of tissue paper (the kind you put in gift bags). You take the end of a pencil where the eraser is and set it in the middle of one piece of tissue paper. Then wrap the paper up onto the pencil. Dab the end into some white glue and then stick it on the paper where you want it. And keep going until you put as much on as you want. It was a lot of fun to do with the kids. And thanks to Nikki for telling me all about this art project so that we could do it at home.

WAY COOL!! The kids did a great job and it looks like they had a blast doing it! Way to go Nikki!!
I used to do something like that when I was in grade school :) We did that on the outside of a balloon after it was paper mache'd to make it a pinata! Creative little lady you have!
We'll have to try that. Great idea. They look great!
