Three dimensional pictures or paper collage

Materials Needed: construction paper, tissue paper, Elmer’s Glue, scissors, pencil
This Halloween craft is meant to be fun. No reading, no writing and no research just pure fun. So how do we accomplish reading with this activity – by older siblings or parents reading some of the books listed below while the children are creating their three dimensional pictures or collages.

Before beginning this activity cut tissue paper into 2” X 2” squares.

1 – Draw a design on the construction paper.
2 – Place a piece of tissue around the eraser of your pencil and twist
3 – Dip the tissue in glue and place on the design - continue until the entire picture is covered.
4 - To make a construction paper collage, draw a holiday design
5 - Using scraps of left over construction paper, glue pieces in place creating a collage.
