Well the name says it all – this is seriously the most FUN project I’ve done with my 4yo daughter…and we do A LOT of craft!
I spotted the ‘Confetti Shooter’ at BigW and instantly thought “That’s going to make an awesome collage”. So I threw it in the trolley and some spare ammunition to boot ;).
Miss M loves painting rainbows at the moment so I thought this would be the perfect chance to test out the ‘gun’.
You will need
‘Confetti Shooter’
Brown wrapping paper (found at most $2 stores)
Craft Glue
Paint/Sponge Brush
‘Safety’ Sunglasses
Cotton Balls
I’m sure it’s not the safest thing to play with so as a precaution we wore some safety glasses – well I couldn’t find any of those so we wore some fun fashion ones instead 😉
Firstly Miss M painted the rainbow shape with glue, secondly she made clouds using some cotton wool buds & finally the FUN part – shooting confetti all over the rainbow :).
It’s pretty clear to see the enjoyment written all over her face in these pics.
Pride of place on her bedroom wall.
A few important notes–
This must be a supervised activity & glasses should be worn at all times. Don’t ‘shoot’ too close to the paper as it will shoot a hole straight through (especially if its a bit soggy from the glue). We used three rounds of ammo to complete this project.
Please try this with your kids because it is SO MUCH FUN!!!
