No reviews

A fun and creative craft project using glue and glitter that kids can enjoy while building fine motor skills.

Ingredients

  • Clear school glue
  • Fine or craft glitter
  • Wax paper or a silicone mat
  • Small disposable cups or bowls for glitter
  • Stirring stick or disposable spoon
  • Paper towels
  • Tray or shallow box to catch spills (optional)
  • Cookie cutters or small templates (optional)
  • Food coloring or washable paint for tinting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cover your work surface with wax paper or a silicone mat and set out small cups of glitter.
  2. Gently squeeze a line or puddle of glue onto the paper in the shape you want.
  3. Work in small groups so kids do not wait too long.
  4. Add glitter while the glue is wet so it sticks right away.
  5. Tilt the paper slightly to catch excess glitter on the wax paper and shake it back into the cup.
  6. For layered looks, add one color, let it set a bit, then add more.
  7. Use a toothpick or stick to spread glue for thin, even shapes.
  8. Let the pieces dry fully in a warm, dust-free spot.
  9. Peel the pieces off the wax paper once they feel solid and no longer tacky.

Notes

This project is great for kids and provides a low-pressure environment for creativity. Make sure to supervise younger children closely.
