Glue pictures are fun to create and make wonderful, artsy decorations for your home!
Begin by encouraging your child to draw pictures using a thin stream of Elmer's glue (I always stock up on glue at back-to-school sales) on construction paper or left-over pieces of cardboard. When the glue is completely dry, use liquid tempera paint and a paint brush to paint over the glue pictures. This is a great sensory experience that also helps your child practice hand-eye coordination. You can also use this technique to create Montessori-style letter cards. Draw glue letters on cardboard rectangles and have your child trace each letter with his or her fingers. Have fun!
