I love using glitter for crafts, but a lot of times I avoid using it around small children because of the chance that it could get in their eyes. This next craft offers a great way to introduce glitter into your creation time with your child without really having to worry too much about the hazards or mess of glitter. Enjoy!
Easy to Create Snow Background
What you'll need:
dark colored paper (blue or black)
glue
glitter (silver looks best, but you can use whatever color you would like)
leftover circles from white hole punched paper
paintbrush
Pour some glue into a little cup and add a fair amount of glitter and small circles. Mix well with a paintbrush. Let your child paint the glue, glitter mixture on the dark paper (be sure to watch them very closely to make sure they don't try to eat or paint their face with the glue). Once your child is done, the glue will dry clear and you will have a beautiful snowy background to put behind a white silhouette cutout of a snowman or any Christmas/winter art your child might have made.
