Episode 105 - Making Messes
Segment #4 - Concoctions
Activity - Colorful Suncatcher HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- Plastic wrap
- Plastic or paper cups
- All purpose white household glue
- Food coloring
- Thick, black pipe cleaners in 12-inch lengths
- Ribbon or cording
LET'S GET STARTED:
Bend and attach pipe cleaners into your desired shape and glue the shape flat onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Add details by gluing smaller lengths of pipe cleaner on the inside of the design such as a small circle for the center of a flower. Your design will look similar to the outlines of a coloring book page. Let dry. Now it's time to add the color.
Pour 3-4 tablespoons of glue into a cup. Add 5-10 drops of food coloring and stir. Mix glue and food coloring in additional cups, if you wish, to have a rainbow of colors. Pour the colored glue inside the pipe cleaner shape. If you added details, pour different colors in the various sections. Let dry. It usually takes about a day. When dry, the colored glue will appear translucent. Carefully peel it off the plastic wrap. Hang your beautiful sun catcher in a window using cording or ribbon. OTHER ACTIVITIES FROM THIS EPISODE:
