Kids Coasters

When I made these coasters a while back, they were a test run for something bigger down the road.

The Sunday before Christmas, I dragged out the supplies:

• 1 tile per coaster
• tissue paper, decorated or undecorated, we used some beautiful Eric Carle tissue paper that I'd picked up at a church thrift sale
• Modge Podge
• Heavy duty felt pads
• Varnish
• Adorable children to make the coasters that will melt the hearts of their grandparents.

We placed each of the tiles on a paper plate to help contain the mess.

I then tore sections of tissue paper and threw them in the middle of the table and let the kids go crazy.

I imagined the older kids would try to make a picture, but they all went abstract... they all turned out wonderful.

 

There was a coaster for each grandparents, plus ones for us... oh and the little girl next door who joined us, she took home 4 as well.

I'd love to repeat this as the kids get older to see what they come up with.
