Glitter Hack: Keeping the Mess at Bay
Glitter seems to be a vital part of many preschool and young elementary classrooms, and if you are like me, you HATE cleaning up glitter. I used to dread projects that used glitter as it would get EVERYWHERE. I would find glitter for weeks... Well, after a few years of glitter wars, I figured out this trick to keep the mess to a complete minimum and the kids still get to have fun with create art with glitter. STEP 1: Find a shallow container (this photo shows a paper cup, but anything you can easily mix in would work) and fill it with white school glue. Pour in the glitter and mix it all together. (In this photo, I put about a teaspoon of glue with a teaspoon of glitter). STEP 2: Using a q-tip, spread the glitter/glue mixture over the desired area. STEP 3: Let dry! It is that easy! As you can see, the glitter stays shiny. Students can walk around with their art you do not have to fear the tiny sparkles falling off everywhere around the room!
