Following the success of our previous tissue paper art, we decided to try something new – coloured tissue paper collage onto alfoil (tinfoil).
As alfoil can be quite delicate and tear easily, I taped it to some watercolour paper with red electrical tape. I diluted a small amount of paper glue (Clag – for those in Australia).
Add lots of coloured tissue paper which we had torn into pieces together beforehand (a great fine motor skill development activity).
The finished piece is beautiful. I even decided that I really liked the electrical tape and chose to leave it as a frame.

We've been painting canvases a bit here. I buy them at the $2 shops and Kmart. Then they can put them up in their room.
We did something similar to this (but add glitter and sequins - my girls were a bit older than yours at the time) ages ago... must remember to do it again.
