Furry fun

Another idea: Spider!

Step one
Paint a grassy hill along the bottom of the canvas board using the Resene Light Green paint. Mix some Resene Cool Blue and Resene White paint to make a pale blue and paint in the sky. Leave to dry.

Step two
Roll a yellow pipe cleaner into a circle and stick onto the blue sky with PVA glue. Use the safety scissors to cut some shorter pieces for the sunrays and glue these into position.

Step three
Bend some green pipe cleaners to form a tree shape and glue it into position on the hill.

Step four
Make two ‘stick’ people from orange pipe cleaners and form a small circle from a purple pipe cleaner. Glue the ‘stick’ people and purple ball into position. Leave the picture flat until the glue is dry. Cool or what?
