Tissue paper painting

Little tinnies in my nursery had so much fun with tissue paper 'bleeding'. All you need is different colours of tissue paper cut into small pieces, white paper sheet and some water with paint brush. I used some preprinted butterfly shapes, so children could fill it up with different colours. First, I invited children to spread water with paintbrush all over the butterfly print.
Secondly,I told them to pick pieces of tissues paper and stick into the wet paper. This is when the 'magic'began. Coloured tissue pieces started 'bleeding'and leave marks on the paper. It is important to make sure that child's clothing is protected with e.g. apron and that there is something under the paper children use for sticking.
Once the butterfly was cover in tissue paper pieces, we hanged the worksheets to dry. After a while, we peeled dried tissue paper pieces and looked at the 'painted' butterfly.
